Juan Antonio López
Juan Antonio López was a prominent Honduran environmentalist and municipal councilor for the Libertad y Refundación (Libre) party, known for his passionate advocacy for the protection of local ecosystems, particularly the Guapinol and San Pedro rivers, as well as the Montaña de Botaderos National Park. Tragically, he was murdered on September 14, 2024, in Tocoa, Colón, while leaving a church, highlighting the perilous conditions faced by environmental defenders in Honduras. His work often put him at odds with mining projects he believed threatened these vital natural resources, and his death has sparked national and international calls for justice and accountability in the face of violence against activists.
