The series will include the stories of journalists from India, Guatemala and Tanzania, whose lives were endangered while in the line of duty.
Since 2009, at least 13 journalists have been killed globally after working on environment-related stories, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). There may be as many as 29 cases. The CPJ is still investigating 16 additional deaths.
