In Peru's Amazon region, efforts to combat illegal activities are underway. A recent operation involved personnel from the Peruvian navy. They approached a mining site, where they encountered evidence of gold extraction.

The area had been altered by the mining process, with significant changes to the landscape. The operation was carried out over several days. Details of the raid are available from KSAT 12.
