Berta Cáceres was an Indigenous Lenca activist in Honduras who took on everyone from a corrupt police force to powerful landowners in her many efforts to protect the environment and fight for Indigenous rights. The co-founder of the Civil Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras, Cáceres was murdered in her home in March 2016, shortly after being threatened for her opposition to a hydroelectric project.
