Format: Video

Speaker: Kilham, Chris

Speaker: Chris Kilham, Medicine Hunter Since 2004 or so, Peru has experienced a significant increase in visitors to shamanic centers, and market demand for sacred plants including the ayahuasca vine, chacruna leaf, coca, tobacco, San Pedro and more. This demand has been a huge boon for traders. But what are the sustainability issues? Drawing on decades of Amazon experience and a two-year Medicine Hunter sustainability study of ayahuasca 2017 – 2019, we'll dive deeply into Peru's world of sacred plants, with vivid images and first-hand accounts, and learn what's really happening.
