Bogotá, Colombia - Environmental activist murders doubled in Colombia last year, making it the most dangerous country in the world
Bogotá, Colombia – Environmental activist murders doubled in Colombia last year, making it the most dangerous country in the world for those trying to protect the planet, a watchdog said Tuesday.
The number of those killed has progressively decreased since a record 227 in 2020, however “this does not mean that the situation has significantly improved,” said Global Witness. “This is almost double the number of killings compared to 2021, when 33 defenders lost their lives,” said the report. In 2019, she survived an attack by gunmen who tried to kill her over her work defending her home region’s water resources against mining companies.According to Global Witness, almost 2,000 land and environmental defenders have been murdered over the past decade — some 70 percent of them in Latin America.
