[:en]Environmental Defender Murdered in Honduras[:]
OFRANEH members have mobilized to make and distribute masks and protective gear, produce and distribute food, prepare and distribute teas based on ancestral wisdom of medicinal plants to strengthen immune systems.
As part of our work in the CLIMA Fund, Grassroots International is proud of the report, Resourcing Earth Defenders: The Philanthropic Response to Heightened Repression in Latin America.
Sadly, the report notes that Latin America is the deadliest region in which to engage in human rights defense. While environmental, land and Indigenous rights defenders receive a mere 5% of all human rights funding globally, this population accounts for more than half of all human rights defenders killed in the last few years.
Now we add to that list of environmental defenders our brother from Honduras. Edwin Fernández, presente![:]
