Study: More Than Three Eco-Activists Killed Every Week in 2018
teleSUR
Excerpt: "While calls to save the planet are growing every day, the people who fight to protect their lands and the environment are being silenced. In 2018, on average three environmental defenders were murdered each week, according to a study published Monday by the international human rights group Global Witness." 

More than half of 2018's murders occurred in Latin America. The region has consistently ranked as the worst-affected since Global Witness began publishing data on killings in 2012, one contributing factor being the region’s strong tradition of human rights activism, according to the study.
