Today we remember Honduran indigenous and environmental organizer Berta Cáceres, who was assassinated in her home in Honduras yesterday. She was one of the leading organizers for indigenous land rights in Honduras, standing up to mining and dam projects that threatened to destroy her community. Last year, Cáceres won the Goldman Environmental Prize, the world’s largest environmental award. 

A 2015 report by the group Global Witness found that Honduras is one of the deadliest countries for environmentalists. Between 2010 and 2014, 101 environmental campaigners were killed in the country.

Today we broadcast footage of Cáceres and spoke with her nephew Silvio Carillo and her longtime friend Beverly Bell.
