The Cries of Those Who Vanish

This is the fourth in our series of papers, in collaboration with photographer Luis Mora, which focuses on the work being done in Latin America to protect the land rights of marginalized people. With this paper, we honour the strength, courage and conviction of four people who have been violently attacked in the course of defending the natural environment. The paper is divided into four posters, each honouring an environmental activist.

Proceeds from the sale of this paper support the work of the Council of Indigenous Peoples of Honduras (COPINH). COPINH is an organization made up of 200 indigenous Lenca communities in western Honduras. Co-founded by Berta Cáceres in 1993, COPINH defends communities against logging, dams and mining projects that would damage the environment and their way of life.
