Honoring Berta Isabel Cáceres Flores

Tribute to a courageous environmental activist

Honduras

My story of hope is also a sad and shocking story about an incredible lady called Berta Isabel Cáceres Flores, who was a Honduran activist, human rights and environmental activist. She was murdered in March 2016 protesting the construction of a dam on sacred land, indigenous land. She represents this extraordinary community of individuals around the world, a lot of whom are female, who put themselves in harm's way in the defence of what's right. Whilst it's an incredibly shocking story, people like Berta represent to me the best of humanity, people who are willing to put themselves in harm's way to do what's right.
