"Land-grabbers, loggers, and miners don't self-isolate."

Arbildo Meléndez Grandes is the latest indigenous leader of the Peruvian Amazon to be murdered for defending his indigenous territory.

He was a defender of his community – demanding that the government provide a land title – and had received death threats from land-grabbers and narco-traffickers who wanted to control the same territory.

Arbildo's killing is just the most recent of at least nine indigenous leaders who have been murdered in the Peruvian Amazon since 2013. The responsible parties are often land invaders, miners, illegal loggers, and other mafias.
