In recent decades, many communities have been displaced from their ancestral lands to make way for "Green Economy" mega-projects, or in the name of "nature conservation." In Latin America there has been an increase in the murder rate of environmental activists—mostly indigenous—who have been fighting to stop mega-projects that would destroy their communities and territories. A new platform to report on the relationship between the Green Economy and violations of people's rights is seeking support to research and document cases in Central America and Mexico.
