The U.S. State Department and global leaders condemned the murder of environmentalist Juan López in Honduras, who fought against mining projects. His killing adds to concerns about the violence faced by environmental defenders in Latin America, where the region is known to be the deadliest for activists. Honduran President Xiomara Castro promised an investigation into López's death, which follows a grim pattern of targeted violence against environmentalists in the country.
