  • A stallholder shows her collection of iguanas, thought locally to embue special powers to men when eaten as consommé. El Mercado Roberto Huembes in Managua, Nicaragua, is a large market with some 7,500 sellers and other workers.

  • A Honduran farmer prepares to kill a rabbit he has bred. He dispatches the animal with a sharp blow to the back of the head that dislocates the neck and kills the animal instantly.

  • Israel Martínez, Tolupan indigenous man from Montaña de la Flor, Honduras. "See the frogspawn? Look, it's everywhere. See the snails in the water, on the stones? The animals drink this water, we drink this water straight from the river. The water in their [ladino] places is poisoned with fertlizers and by the ones who do the mining, they don't have frogs and snails any more, they're already dead, maybe they don't understand. They cut down their trees and now it doesn't rain any more. And now they want our land, our trees, they want to ruin our water, dry up our rivers. And they want to kill us. They are killing us".

"the community was affected firstly by the flooding, most of it was under 1.5m of water, people lost everything, their kitchens, bedding, domestic animals like pigs and chickens. In agricultural prodution people lost rice, maize, bananas, the basic food for people. The flooding also affected the roads, it cut through 7m deep and 20m wide in one place. It will need a big investment to get us back to where we were. But because we can't get in to the fields because of the roads, we don't know how we'll replant"

"The water broke the river bank. The people here are farmers... there have been losses in the crops, in every way that the crops can be lost, they've been lost, and some animals were lost too"

  • Juana Zuniga, Guapinol, partner of José Abelino Cedillo, one of the men who has been in prison for 15 months for protesting against the mining company in Guapinol.<br />
<br />
"The struggle we have here is in defence of this lovely river. The mining company Los Pinares ha been causing damage here since 2018. We began our struggle when we couldn't use the water from this river for seven months, it's essential for this community. This river provides the water for more than 3,000 people in the community... We began our struggle, a non-violent struggle, we wanted to recover our river as when the mining company started work the water turned into thick chocolatey substance that even the animals didn't want to drink. It was sad, we had to start buying large bottles of water. But some people didn't have the money to do that, we suffered seven months with water like that. Thank God, the water is clean again, but the flow is reduced, we don't know what the mine is doing to make that happen. For us, water is life, it is eveything. We have eight men in prison in Olanchito, without any evidence against them, we want them back, and we want the mining company to leave."

  • Alongside provisional shelters that stretch for miles outside San Pedro Sula, Diana's neighbour put up a Christmas tree and nativity scene on the roadside.<br />
<br />
The Christmas tree is a reminder that the global scientific community and faith-based groups across the world call out together for us all to take urgent action to slow climate change: to stop burning fossil fuels, and to start planting trees, a trillion trees need to be planted to absorb carbon from the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
And the nativity scene is a powerful reminder of Mary and Joseph who found no room at the inn and were forced to shelter and sleep with animals, the least suitable place imaginable for the birth of a baby. No one made room for them. We are all innkeepers today, deciding whether we have room for strangers, and whether we should help people who - like Mary and Joseph - have nowhere to go.

  • President Juan Orlando Hernandez during his investiture event in the National Stadium in Tegucigalpa on January 27th this year. <br />
<br />
The event took place inside several rings of military exclusion that extended for a kilometre from the stadium. A limited number of people were brought in, arriving on buses, and reportedly many were paid to attend, certainly many didn’t want their photograph taken. Animators in front of the stands instructed people when to cheer and wave the flags they were given. Later, videos circulated on social media of heaps of discarded National Party flags and of fights that broke out over the distribution of sandwiches that were promised to the people who attended.

  • Sandra Mireya Vaquero Gonzalez, explains how the balu tree grows. Balu (Erythina edulis) is also known as the giant bean tree. The beans and husks are good food for human and animal consumption. Sandra, 31, is a mother of two children and is part of an agriculture project for displaced women in the Silvania district of Colombia. Sandra says that "the project has meant that we can eat properly, that means a lot to us". The project supports 55 women to produce their own food, including vegetables and chickens. The project is supported by ACT member LWF.
