Colombia deadliest country for environmentalists -
report
By Vanessa Buschschlüter

At least 177 environmental activists were killed across
the world last year, a report by the non-governmental
organisation Global Witness suggests.
Sixty of the killings took place in Colombia, making it
the deadliest country for environmental defenders.
Global Witness says very few of the perpetrators of the
killings are ever brought to justice.
The group said in its report that the total number of those
killed in the country since it began recording data on
attacks on environmentalists in 2012 had amounted to at
least 382.
While that makes it the country with the highest number
of murders of green activists anywhere in the world,
other countries in Latin America also proved deadly.
Brazil recorded 34 murders of defenders of the
environment. Mexico 31 and Honduras 11. The Amazon
region saw 39 killings, with many of the victims from
indigenous communities.
"Research has shown again and again that Indigenous
peoples are the best guardians of the forests and therefore
play a fundamental role in mitigating the climate crisis,"
said Global Witness senior adviser Laura Furones.
Global witness said the full scale of the killings was
unknown, with a lack of independent monitoring and
restrictions on free press in many countries leading to an
underreporting of cases.
They have called on governments around the world to
urgently address the issue, adding that defenders were
also increasingly being subjected to legal efforts to
silence them.
