According to the Government of Managua, Cáceres was a Honduran indigenous leader and defender of the environment and human rights, “who moved to another plane of life” in March 2016.

Cáceres, who was coordinator and co-founder of the Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (Copinh), was shot to death on March 2, 2016 in her house despite having precautionary measures from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) since 2009 to protect her from the constant threats she received.

The former executive president of DESA, Roberto David Castillo, was found guilty in July 2021 for the murder of Berta Cáceres and the sentence will be known on April 4. (I)
