2 and a half years since the night of the 2nd of March 2016 when Honduran environmental activist Berta Cáceres was shot dead have already passed. 

Her murder was added to a long list of environmental activists murdered in Latin America merely for defending a cause, in the case of Berta against a hydroelectric damn that threatened the sacred river of the Lenca community, a Mesoamerican indigenous group that have resided in Honduras and El Salvador since pre-Columbian times.
