CIVICUS discusses the dangers of environmental activism in Honduras with Carlos Leonel George, communications officer for the Municipal Committee in Defence of the Commons and Public Goods of Tocoa, a Honduran organisation fighting against mining and for the protection of the Guapinol and San Pedro rivers.
Honduras is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for environmental defenders. Juan López, an activist member of the committee, was murdered on 14 September. He was the fourth member of the organisation to be killed since 2023.
