		<description><![CDATA[Lima, with a population of 9 million people, is home to one-third of Peru's population. But the coastal city does not have a single sewage treatment facility. With no safe place for raw sewage to go, most of it ends up in the ocean.

Almost as big as the pollution itself, is the apathy that seems to exist towards the problem. Until last year, Peru has never had an environment ministry.

Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo reports on the realities that make going to the beach in Lima a dangerous proposition.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the second time in as many months, the affects of global warming on Peru's rare tropical glaciers is made painfully evident.

Peru's National Institute for Natural Resources (INRENA) has reported that the Quilca glacier in Puno, 5250 m.a.s.l., has now completely vanished. This is an ominous warming for a country where the vast majority of the population lives on a desert coast who's rivers are fed by melt waters from similar glaciers.]]></description>

Living in this town means you are 2000 times more likely to die of cancer... that's if you are even born.

		<description><![CDATA[While I was staying up in Cajamarca, located in Peru's northern Andean mountains, I heard the word Yanacocha, a word that popped out in conversations from time to time. It's not a Spanish word, but it has a playful sound and for some reason it seemed rather important to everyone in Cajamarca. Well, as it turns out, they were talking about the Minera Yanacocha (Yanacocha Mine), which is not only important to the folks of Cajamarca. Minera Yanacocha just happens to be the largest gold mine in South America!]]></description>
