Seven years ago, Gonzalo Pio Flores mourned the death of his father, an environmental activist who was dedicated to protecting the lands of the Asháninka community of Nuevo Amanecer Hawai in central Peru. Afterwards and up to May 2020, this young indigenous man continued to pursue his father’s mission until he also was killed. This story from the series #DefendingWithoutFear shows how trying to protect the forest can become a death sentence.
