One of the largest rainforests of Central America is severely endangered by the lumber mafia, gold diggers and illegal farmers. One district councillor has taken up the battle against this destruction. Guarded by armed soldiers, she hunts down those who jeopardise and threaten the environment of the rainforest’s indigenous tribes.
