Investigating Acts of Aggression Against Eco-Activists
In a groundbreaking move, Tierra de Resistentes, an international organisation of environmental journalists, has released a comprehensive dataset detailing attacks against environmental advocates in Latin America.
The dataset, spanning over a decade from 2009 to 2020, contains information on more than 2,400 attacks. Each entry in the dataset includes demographic details of the individuals or organisations targeted, the specific environmental resource involved in each attack, and the industry most likely to benefit from the resource.
The dataset was compiled by environmental journalists from Tierra de Resistentes and has been made available, although direct search results do not currently provide a clear link or instructions on how to access it. However, to locate such a dataset, one could start by visiting the official website of Tierra de Resistentes, checking academic or NGO repositories specialising in environmental or human rights data, or contacting Tierra de Resistentes directly for guidance on data access.

As we delve deeper into this important dataset, we hope it will shed light on the challenges faced by environmental advocates in Latin America and provide a platform for further research and action towards a more sustainable and equitable future.
