Ten years after her assassination, Berta Cáceres remains a beacon lighting the path for hundreds of thousands of communities resisting the destructive forces of extractivism.

The Honduran activist, co-founder of COPINH (Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras), dedicated her life to defending land, rivers, and the rights of the Lenca people, courageously opposing projects imposed without the prior and informed consent of Indigenous communities.

Berta’s voice has continued to prevail, even after her death, over all those who sought to silence her; her legacy, her martyrdom, resonates deeply in the struggles of the Lenca people and of communities across the world.

Even today, Berta teaches us that it is truly possible to overcome the selfish interests of national and international corporations tied to corrupt political power.

Berta Cáceres, Presente!
