The Death Squads Hunting Environmental Defenders "Around the world, government forces regularly attack environmental activists with impunity—and U.S. support." "Between 2012 and 2022, around the world, one environmental defender was killed every other day, according to international human rights group Global Witness. That’s nearly 2,000 peasants, farmers, fisherfolk and activists murdered for defending their land from some of the biggest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions — including mining, logging and agribusiness corporations — as well as hydropower projects, which have their own ruinous environmental impact." https://inthesetimes.com/article/brandon-lee-philippines-violence-environmental-activists
