Berta Cáceres, Honduran human rights and environment activist, murdered

Ciceres, who was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize for her opposition to one of Central America's biggest hydropower projects, was shot at home

Berta Ciceres, the Honduran indigenous and environmental rights campaigner, has been murdered, barely a week after she was threatened for opposing a hydroelectric project.

Her death prompted international outrage at the murderous treatment of campaigners in Honduras, as well as a flood of tributes to a prominent and courageous defender of the natural world.
