Bárbara D'Achille

Bárbara D'Achille (1941-1989) was a Latvian-Peruvian journalist and conservationist.[1] She was born in Latvia but spent most of her adult life in Western Europe and South America.[2] She wrote for El Comercio, where she managed a regular ecology section.[3] Brown describes her as Peru's foremost environmental journalist.[4] She also consulted for the World Wildlife Fund and other international NGOs.[2] In 1989 she was killed by members of Shining Path while traveling in Huancavelica.[1] She was 48.[1] Pampa Galeras – Barbara D'Achille National Reserve is named after her, as is the Manu parrotlet (Nannopsittaca dachilleae).[2]
