Killings in the Sierra Tarahumara: an open chapter | Mexico

17.3.19

Killings in the Sierra Tarahumara: an open chapter | Mexico: In this month of January 2019 we commemorate for the second year in a row the anniversary of the killings of two indigenous Rar�muri leaders in the Sierra Tarahumara in the State of Chihuahua in the North of Mexico. Isidro Baldenegro L�perz, killed on 15th Janurary 2017, was an environmental defender, particularly focused on illegal logging in the municipality of Guadalupe and Calvo. For a long time his work was backed up and recognised by international organisations and he won the Goldman prize in 2005. Juan Ontiveros Ramos, killed on 31st January of the same year, defended his community�s ancestral territory, the community of Chor�achi, also situated in the municipality of Guadalupe and Calvo. These anniversaries are sad reminders of the high risk that people defending their land, territory and environment experience in the Sierra Tarahumara.
