An indigenous woman battling to keep the rivers and forests in her country from being completely swallowed up by transnational companies is one of the recipients of the 2015 Goldman Environmental Prize\u2014the world\u2019s largest and most prestigious award for grassroots environmental activism.<\/p>\n

Berta C\u00e1ceres, of the Lenca indigenous nation in Honduras, was announced as one of the six prize-winners on April 20, along with Myint Zaw of Myanmar, Marilyn Baptiste of Canada, Jean Wiener of Haiti, Phyllis Omido of Kenya and Howard Wood of Scotland.<\/p>\n

The prize, which recognizes fearless grassroots environmental activists working against all odds to protect the environment and their communities, is awarded each year to environmental heroes from six inhabited continental regions in the world.<\/p>\n

C\u00e1ceres, representing the South and Central America region, is the general coordinator for the National Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH), which was co-founded 22 years ago to protect the rights of her people and their territories.<\/p>\n

In 2011, COPINH fought to stop the Agua Zarca hydroelectric dam from being built on the sacred Gualcarque River. They were up against one of the world\u2019s largest dam builders and transnational companies\u2014the Chinese state-owned Sinohydro\u2014in a joint project with Honduran company Desarrollos Energ\u00e9ticos S.A. (DESA).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a strong process to fight against exploitation. This is what we have always done\u2014and even more now with the transnational exploitation we see,\u201d C\u00e1ceres told El Tecolote.<\/p>\n

After approval from the indigenous communities of the Lenca nation, C\u00e1ceres led a campaign to stop the project.
\n\u201cNone of this would be possible without the tenacity of the communities of COPINH, which has 200 communities of the Lenca nation,\u201d C\u00e1ceres said.<\/p>\n

COPINH appealed government officials numerous times over not consulting with the Lenca about plans to build a dam on their territory. C\u00e1ceres filed complaints over violations of international treaties governing indigenous people\u2019s rights, brought community representatives to speak, but there was no response.<\/p>\n

In 2013, C\u00e1ceres rallied her community to create a peaceful roadblock to prevent DESA from accessing the site, enduring attacks from the military and private security forces. During this period one of the leaders, T\u00f3mas Garcia, was murdered, drawing outrage and even more community resistance.<\/p>\n

But the killing didn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n

In 2014, William Jacobo Rodr\u00edguez, a COPINH member and activist opposing the dam, was murdered. In October of last year, Rodriguez\u2019s 15-year-old brother Maycol was found dead in a river, his body showing signs of torture.
\nAnd C\u00e1ceres hasn\u2019t been immune to such threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even know if I would get here safely to San Francisco,\u201d said C\u00e1ceres, who has received at least 20 death threats since December. \u201cI had to get a legal document drawn up saying what will happen with the [$175,000] prize money if I am killed. In a country like Honduras, you have to think of these things, because it is something that is probable, not some far-off thought. Death swirls very closely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the Honduran coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in 2009, there have been 47 concessions to power hundreds of new mining projects\u2014 one of which was Sinohydro.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the World Bank withdrew funding and the world\u2019s largest dam builder was pressured to pull out of the project, terminating its contract with co-partner DESA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a projected 300 hydroelectric projects planned,\u201d C\u00e1ceres said. \u201cWe are a small country with many riches. With 8 million people\u2014to give 30 percent of the territory to the transnational mining companies is worse than the colonization of 500 years ago. And, they do it with impunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2014 report titled \u201cHow Many More?\u201d by the NGO (non-governmental organization) Global Witness stated that nearly 75 percent of the 116 known deaths of activists around the world occurred in Central and South America, citing Honduras to be the most dangerous country to be an environmentalist and land activist. The report states that 47 indigenous people were killed defending their natural resources.<\/p>\n

This January, C\u00e1ceres received credible information of plans to kidnap her after her involvement to stop yet another hydro-electric project: the Canjel river dam.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur people have a very strong and present memory of the spirit of rebellion,\u201d C\u00e1ceres said. \u201cThere were big insurrections against the conquistadors. For the last 500 years we have been fighting in defense of our land, in defense of water. The Lenca are people of the water, of corn, and rivers are sacred to us. The Lenca consider an aggression against the river as an aggression against the people. The rivers are life. We can live without gold, without silver, but not without water.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can attack her. They can even kill her,\u201d said journalist and C\u00e1ceres\u2019 friend Melissa Cardoza, in a video interview. \u201cBut her life transcends this moment in time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
