The death toll of environmental activism around the world

Newsday

Available for over a year

The human rights group Global Witness has named the Philippines as the most dangerous country in the world for environmental activists and land defenders; trade negotiations between the US and China are re-starting in Shanghai today. We look at what they hope to achieve and the effect a year long trade war has had on both sides; and for how long can the North Atlantic right whale survive ? The numbers are fast falling again.
