'Bertita' Cáceres, daughter of assassinated environmentalist leader Berta Cáceres of the indigenous Lenca organisation COPINH in La Esperanza, Intibucá, Honduras. Speaking shortly before the first anniversary of the assassination of her mother, Bertita spoke about the persistent threats against her mother and family, and the pain of losing their mother. She says that the assassination is a political crime, covered up by the state, and is part of a policy that has seen 123 defenders of land and environment assassinated in Honduras since the coup. Bertita is currently one of the leaders of COPINH, that is campaigning against the construction of a dam on sacred Lenca land.
