Peruvian journalist Manuel Calloquispe Flores, who covers illegal gold mining in the La Pampa region, has spoken out about the threats he receives over his reporting. Calloquispe has covered tensions between local government and Illegal Mining groups for over 10 years. He has been intimidated and threatened by unidentified individuals on multiple occasions while reporting on illegal mining and criminal groups involved in the exploitation of natural habitat in the Amazon. Despite the risks, Calloquispe plans to continue his reporting, as he believes he is the only one who can shed light on these issues.
