Manatees under threat from Peruvian hunters

Biologists say manatees in Peru’s Amazon rainforest are in danger of extinction.

A wildlife organisation is trying to save the animals, but one of the biggest threats to their existence is a part of Peruvian culture.

Even though legislation forbids it, people continue to capture the manatees for human consumption.
