A Mexican indigenous activist who received the prestigious Goldman environmental prize for his crusade against illegal logging has been shot dead, the second award-winner to have been murdered in less than 12 months.
Isidro Baldenegro López, a subsistence farmer and leader of the Tarahumara community in the country’s northern Sierra Madre mountain region, was shot at a relative’s home on Sunday.
Baldenegro received the Goldman prize in 2005 for his nonviolent campaign to protect ancient forests from deforestation in a region plagued by violence, drug trafficking and corruption.
