Ximena S Warnaars reports on an unprecedented agreement in Peru.
An unprecedented agreement has been struck between indigenous communities and the oil company that has been polluting their environment for 15 years.
Forty years of irresponsible oil production in the northern Peruvian Amazon has drastically changed the lives of hundreds of indigenous people and caused irreversible damage to one of the most biodiverse and vulnerable ecosystems in the world.
