US-PERU-ENVIRONMENT-UNREST

Diana Rios Rengifo, the daughter of one of the four indigenous Ashéninka leaders murdered in the Peruvian Amazon in early September, speaks during a ceremony in New York on November 17, 2014. Rengifo accepted an environmental award from the Alexander Soros Foundation on behalf of her community of 33 Ashéninka families, who live in the dense rainforest that straddles the border between Peru and Brazil. At least 57 environmental activists have been murdered in Peru since 2002, a rights group said Monday, criticizing the killings as the country prepares to host major UN climate talks. In a report released less than a month before Peru hosts the annual UN climate meeting, Global Witness condemned the country's record on the environment and human rights, calling it one of the most dangerous places in the world to be an environmental activist.
