Global Witness released a report linking top Honduran politicians and members of the business elite to violence against land activists. The international watchdog group says Honduras is the most dangerous country in the world for environmental defenders, with more than 120 of them killed there since 2010. That includes last year's murder of Caceres, who was awarded the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize for her work leading protests in opposition to a hydroelectric project on her Lenca people's ancestral lands.

In this Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2017 photo, a truck overloaded with bags of charcoal travels to the capital of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where a majority of families use the fuel made in the countryside to cook every meal. The longstanding assertion that charcoal production is responsible for Haiti's denuded forests and must be eliminated to spur reforestation is "misguided," according to a recent World Bank report.(AP Photo/David McFadden)

Members of Moise's collective harvest cassia and acacia trees while leaving the roots to regrow in rows intercropped with beans and yams. That helps hold topsoil that can be washed down steep slopes when only erosive food crops such as corn are grown. (AP Photo/David McFadden)

The stigma is so great that few openly admit their involvement. (AP Photo/David McFadden)
