"Let Us WakeUp! Let Us WakeUp humankind. We are out of time"
"In a country with growing socioeconomic inequality and human rights violations, Berta Cáceres rallied the indigenous Lenca people of Honduras and waged a grassroots campaign that successfully pressured the world’s largest dam builder to pull out of the Agua Zarca Dam.
She was the South & Central America winner of the 2015 Goldman Environmental Prize, the world's largest award for grassroots environmental activists."
