Berta Cáceres: Environmental Hero

How can we not acknowledge Mujer Poderosa, 🇭🇳 Berta Cáceres on #EarthDay Berta Cáceres was a Honduran environmental activist 🌱 and indigenous leader of the Lenca people. [Lenca, Indians are of the northern highlands of Honduras and El Salvador] Berta spent her life defending the environment, led protests against illegal dams, logging, and plantations. In 1993 she also co-founded the National Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras and did so much more. Her dedication to the environment and the planet 🌎 did not go unnoticed, and in 2015, one year before her death, she was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize. Bravo Berta 🌱✨
