In 2019, at least 212 environmental activists were killed for opposing industries that damaged the environment around their homes. According to Global Witness, approximately four activists have been killed each week since December 2015.

More than half of the environmental activist killings in 2019 occurred in Colombia and the Philippines. The killings in Colombia claimed the lives of 64 environmental activists, while the Philippines followed with 43 deaths.

The high death toll of environmental activists demonstrates the failure of governments, corporations, and investors to fulfill their responsibilities. They should respect and guarantee the safety of activists fighting for their rights.
