How many
more? : 2014's deadly environment: the killing and
intimidation of environmental and land activists, with a spotlight
on Honduras / : Global Witness, 2015.
Geographical area
Global Witness found cases of killings of environmental and land
defenders in 17 countries in 2014. Central and South America
account for more than three quarters of all deaths with 88 out of
the global total of 116 killed. The rest are mostly from South East
Asia whilst three deaths were recorded in Africa and one in
India.
Brazil is again the worst-affected country with 29 killings
occurring in 2014. Most of these relate to the conflict over the
ownership, control and use of land. Colombia is the second most
dangerous country with 25 killings – more than half whose
victims are indigenous people, struggling to defend their ancestral
lands. The Philippines accounts for 15 deaths in 2014 -
predominantly at the hands of paramilitary groups defending mining
interests - whilst Honduras continues to be the hardest-hit country
per capita with 12 deaths. Many of the killings in Honduras and
other Central America countries are a result of the struggle
against hydropower dams and their impacts on local communities.
