Honduras is one of the most dangerous counties for land and environmental defenders. About 140 defenders have been murdered since 2012, while others were imprisoned. Most of the threats are state-sponsored, such as mining exploration, which in return pollute a lot of water bodies that millions of people depend on. These human rights violations brought a lot of global attention, but there hasn’t been significant aid done by either the United Nations or other foreign countries.
