    Protecting Environmental Rights Defenders Is Key to Giving Communities a Voice

    The global scramble for critical minerals is driving resource extraction conflicts in regions like Colombia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, disproportionately harming indigenous communities and environmental human rights defenders. These defenders, often targeted with violence or forced displacement, advocate for community rights and environmental justice but face high risks, with 146 killed or disappeared in 2024 alone.
