Podcasts about berta c

Berta Isabel Cáceres Flores (1971-2016) was a Honduran environmental activist who spent decades leading various land and water struggles in western Honduras. In 1993 she helped found and coordinate the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras, known by its Spanish acronym COPINH. In the late 2000s, Berta organized a lasting resistance to the construction of the Agua Zarca Dam on the Gualcarque River, whose construction violated the rights of indigenous peoples, and would have effectively cut them off from important resources. She was awarded the 2015 Goldman Environmental Prize (the highest honor in the field) for her success in stopping the dam’s construction through grassroots movements.

History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.

Water for Life tells the story of three Indigenous activists in Central and South America, who have fought to protect their communities' water rights and ancestral lands from mining, hydroelectric projects, and large scale agriculture. The three individuals profiled in the film are Berta Cáceres, a leader of the Lenca people in Honduras; Francisco Pineda, a subsistence farmer in El Salvador; and Alberto Curamil, an Indigenous Mapuche leader in Chile — all of whom were previous recipients of the Goldman Environmental Prize.  The 2025 Goldman Environmental Prize ceremony took place this week on Monday, April 21 in San Francisco, California. On this episode of Terra Verde, filmmakers Will Parrinello and María José Calderón join host Fiona McLeod to discuss the stories shared in the film, which is airing on PBS this month after 12 years of production.   Featured Image Photo Credit: Courtesy of Goldman Environmental Prize The post ‘Water for Life' brings Indigenous water issues to the big screen  appeared first on KPFA.

TITULARES 1 Biólogos de la UNAH colaboran en Bosque Ecológico Berta Cáceres 2 Comienzan diversas construcciones en el edificio de Ciencias de la Salud de Ciudad Universitaria 3 FCCSS- UNAH impulsará feria de publicaciones científico-académicas y conversatorio 4 Vinculación: UNAH busca liderar debate presidencial en elecciones generales

La Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos anunció la creación de un grupo de expertos en Honduras para investigar el asesinato de Berta Cáceres en marzo de 2016. Una noticia que fue recibida con alegría por diversos organismos en el país. Han pasado ya casi nueve años del asesinato de la lideresa ambiental Berta Cáceres y aunque se avanzó bastante en la investigación, aún quedan cabos por atar, como la autoría intelectual del crimen y los delitos relacionados.  “No sabemos qué pueda pasar”Por ello, su hija Bertha Zúniga y a su vez coordinadora general del Consejo Cívico de Organizaciones Populares e Indígenas de Honduras (COPINH) se congratuló después de que el Gobierno instalase un Grupo Interdisciplinario de Expertos Independientes (GIEI), para esclarecer el caso. “Es hasta que llega este Gobierno que retomamos las negociaciones sobre la posible instalación del grupo y que el Estado de Honduras decide solicitar la asistencia técnica de la Comisión Interamericana”, expresó. “No sabemos hoy mismo qué pueda pasar, si se podrá ir tras los autores intelectuales, si se van a lograr esos objetivos que hemos tenido desde que supimos de la terrible noticia del asesinato. Pero sí, para nosotras es una oportunidad de intentar agotar todos los esfuerzos para que toda la verdad salga a la luz y que se haga toda la justicia a las personas que participaron en este crimen, que por supuesto es parte de los ataques al pueblo lenca”, recalcó Zúniga. Beneficios económicosLa medida no es sólo celebrada entre los familiares de Cáceres y el COPINH, sino también por los organismos que suscribieron este acuerdo como la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CIDH) y el Centro por la Justicia y el Derecho Internacional (CEJIL). “El establecimiento del grupo abre todo un panorama nuevo de investigaciones, sobre todo vinculadas a los delitos financieros y a los intereses económicos que fraguaron el asesinato. ¿Quiénes eran las personas que se beneficiaban económicamente por la instalación del proyecto extractivo en contra del cual estaban resistiendo las comunidades?”, explica Claudia Paz y Paz, directora del Programa para Centroamérica y México del CEJIL.“Entonces, tenemos mucha esperanza con esta reciente instalación y esperamos que esos seis meses de mandato sean muy fructíferos para avanzar en el esclarecimiento del caso. Un punto muy importante es que ellos deben de contar con la colaboración del Estado, especialmente de la Fiscalía. Hasta ahora esto está ocurriendo, así que también esas son buenas noticias”, señala asimismo. Berta Cáceres fue asesinada en su hogar el 2 de marzo de 2016 en la localidad de La Esperanza. Por su crimen han sido condenadas ocho personas, dos de ellas ejecutivos de la empresa Desarrollos Energéticos S.A. (DESA), que impulsaba la construcción en territorio de la etnia lenca de la hidroeléctrica Agua Zarca.

Cáceres was murdered in her home in Honduras on March 3, 2016. Photo by Daniel Cima. Writer essayist, and journalist Lauren Markham soon-to-be released book, Immemorial, reflects on how language and memorials can offer strategies for coping with climate anxiety and grief. Journalist, activist, and author Jason Mark has a book-in-progress, The Remembered Earth: How Our Memories of Nature Can Protect the Planet, which delves into the so-called “shifting baseline syndrome” and explores antidotes to environmental amnesia. In this episode of Terra Verde, Earth Island Journal editor-in-chief and cohost Maureen Nandini Mitra talks with the two writers about their new books, the power of words, and how the mere act of remembering can be action.     The post Remembrance as Resistance appeared first on KPFA.

Drugged up dogs, corporate evil, and copious amounts of birthday cake! Emily tells the story of Ellie De Castro who set out on a mission to find out who Nellie E. Brown, the namesake of her father's elementary school, was. The simple question took an international team two years to answer and was far from what anyone expected. Then, Kelley tells the story of Berta Cáceres, a Lenca woman in Honduras fighting to protect the environment and her ancestral lands. But when corporate greed and government corruption come together, the results are tragic. Grab your decanter of mystery whisky and keep the hope alive, because we're wining about herstory!

Berta Cáceres war eine mutige Umweltaktivistin und Verfechterin der Rechte indigener Völker aus Honduras. Geboren in La Esperanza in einer Familie, die eng mit dem Land verbunden war, wuchs Berta mit einer tiefen Liebe zur Natur und einem starken Gerechtigkeitssinn auf. Ihre Erfahrungen mit politischen Unruhen und sozialen Ungerechtigkeiten in Honduras prägten ihren Entschluss, sich aktiv für den Umweltschutz und die Rechte indigener Gemeinschaften einzusetzen, was zur Gründung der Organisation COPINH führte. Trotz zahlreicher Drohungen gegen ihr Leben blieb Berta Cáceres ihrer Sache treu und wurde für ihr Engagement mit dem renommierten Goldman-Umweltpreis ausgezeichnet. Bertas tragischer Tod im März 2016 markiert ein schmerzvolles Ende ihres leidenschaftlichen Einsatzes, doch ihr Vermächtnis lebt in denen weiter, die sich weiterhin für die Rechte indigener Völker und den Schutz unserer Erde einsetzen."Historische Heldinnen" lässt mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz wichtige Frauen der Weltgeschichte auf ihr eigenes Leben zurückblicken. Selbstbewusst erzählen sie uns von ihrem Mut und ihrer Durchsetzungskraft.Viertausendhertz 2024 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Esta es la historia de una familia, de un país sumido en corrupción y de un pueblo que durante años ha luchado en contra de quienes lo quieren desaparecer. Este es un episodio que explora cómo, de generación en generación, se transmite la importancia de resistir.Berta Cáceres fue una de las defensoras ambientales que lideró la resistencia del pueblo lenca en Honduras en contra de una presa hidroeléctrica que buscaba quitarles el Río Gualcarque, un río considerado sagrado. Su fuerza vino de su madre, partera y primera alcaldesa del municipio de La Esperanza. En 2016, Berta fue brutalmente asesinada en su casa. Ahora su legado vive en su hija menor, quien continuó con la lucha que inició su madre por la defensa de los ríos. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

La Unión Europea llegó a un acuerdo, que debe aprobarse en febrero, llamado Diligencia sobre sostenibilidad corporativa. Una norma por las que las grandes empresas tendrán que respetar una serie de obligaciones en materia de Medioambiente y Derechos Humanos. Las Ong denuncian la presión de los lobbies que han hecho que se haya quedado fuera de esta normativa el sector financiero.  “Esta directiva va a imponer obligaciones a las grandes empresas, principalmente las empresas transnacionales, para identificar y prevenir los riesgos de violación a los Derechos Humanos y al Medioambiente en sus actividades, pero también en las actividades de sus subcontratistas”, explica Juliette Renaud, responsable de campaña en la organización Amigos de la Tierra Francia.Esta normativa afecta a las grandes empresas, las que tienen un volumen de negocio superior a los 150 millones de euros y más de 500 empleados y también a las que facturan 40 millones de euros y tienen 250 empleados, a condición de que la mitad de los beneficios se generen en sectores sensibles como el textil o la minería.Si no cumplen con los estándares, se les podrá imponer una multa del 5% del volumen de negocios. “Es importante porque abre la posibilidad para las personas afectadas, las víctimas incluso que están fuera de Europa, de pedir tener acceso a la justicia ante las Cortes europeas”, aclara Renaud.Ha habido alrededor del mundo muchas tragedias que tienen que ver con el accionar de empresas internacionales que subcontratan servicios en países terceros. Por ejemplo, la tragedia del Rana Plaza, en Bangladés en abril del 2013, donde un edificio de nueve pisos, en el que había cinco talleres textiles que trabajaban para empresas como Benetton o Mango o El Corte Inglés se derrumbó. 1138 personas murieron 2000 heridos. Pero también hay otros casos en Colombia con las minas o tenemos el asesinato de Berta Cáceres en 2016, la activista se oponía a una presa donde había empresas europeas.Sobre si estas nuevas normas permitirán evitar este tipo de dramas, Juliette Renaud se muestra expectante y un poco dubitativa. “Una cosa es la ley y otra es la práctica”, explica. “Todavía se están definiendo algunos detalles técnicos para las últimas negociaciones entre la Comisión Europea, el Consejo Europeo, que son los Estados miembros, y el Parlamento Europeo. Lo que vimos en los últimos meses de negociaciones es que se fue debilitando la norma y entonces lo que nosotros tememos es que haya brechas de las que se aprovechen las empresas para seguir actuando con impunidad.El rol de los lobbies en el debilitamiento de la normativa  Algunas ONG se quejan de que se ha dejado fuera de esta normativa el sector financiero porque habrían ejercido presión en Bruselas, según una investigación del medio francés Mediapart.“Siempre es muy opaco lo que hacen los lobbies, los grupos de presión, pero hay investigaciones que mostraron el accionar del fondo de inversión, BlackRock, por ejemplo. Pero sabemos que hay otros bancos que también hicieron presión y lo que fuimos denunciando es el rol de Francia, del gobierno francés para realmente ser el portavoz de esos lobbies. Fue muy activo para que el sector financiero sea excluido de la norma. Y eso es sorprendente porque en realidad la ley francesa que ya existe cubre los bancos y el sector financiero”, afirma Renaud.Insuficiente para luchar contra el cambio climático Las organizaciones no gubernamentales deploran que la defensa del Medioambiente ha quedado muy limitada y eso por dos razones, por la falta de responsabilidad jurídica para las empresas que no cumplan y por la falta de definición de daño ambiental.“El problema es la definición de lo que es un daño ambiental que es muy acotada. Aquí lo que simplemente hacen es una lista de normas internacionales que son muy limitadas. Nosotros queríamos que se adoptara una definición como en el derecho francés, en el que se dice que el daño ambiental es lo que daña al agua, al cielo, al aire, etcétera. Y lo que quedó fuera por la presión de Francia es la responsabilidad jurídica”, lamenta y pone como ejemplo el juicio que tienen contra TotalEnergies por un megaproyecto en Uganda y Tanzania por los daños ambientales.“Nosotros tenemos la ley francesa, pero en otros países de Europa la contaminación del suelo va a quedar fuera. Incluso el Acuerdo de París sobre el cambio climático quedó afuera de la lista de normas internacionales que se han incluido”, denuncia la experta.  Para Juliette Renaud, esta normativa es un primer paso, pero también “una oportunidad perdida”, una ley que “se debilitó mucho por la presión de los lobbies.”. “Ahora hay que pelear para ponerla en práctica y también para que ese nivel de ambición que no es suficiente, no sea un ejemplo para el resto de los países y que se puedan adoptar leyes más ambiciosas, por ejemplo, a nivel de la ONU, donde se está negociando un tratado”, concluye la responsable de campaña de Amigos de la Tierra Francia. #EscalaenParís también está en redes sociales Coordinación editorial: Paola Ariza, Manuela MachenoRealización: Souhail Khedir y Vanessa Loiseau

Dans cet épisode, on va parler d'un assassinat politique au Honduras. Je vais vous raconter l'histoire et le combat de Berta Caceres, une activiste écologiste assassinée en mars 2016 alors qu'elle luttait contre la construction d'un barrage au Honduras.  Dans cette histoire, les axes d'analyses sont nombreux mais pour la deuxième partie, j'ai dû me limiter et donc j'ai décidé de vous parler de féminicide politique, de la théorie de l'écoféminisme et de l'utilisation du terme "écoterroriste".

Esta semana nos reencontramos con el activista guatemalteco Bernardo Caal. En 2017 nos confesó su miedo a morir asesinado como la medioambientalista hondureña Berta Cáceres.

Estados Unidos avanza hacia la distopía La movilización indígena deja en jaque al Gobierno de Ecuador Un Nobel de la Paz ruso a la venta, en favor de los niños de Ucrania Nueva condena en Honduras por el asesinato de Berta Cáceres El orgullo LGBT vuelve a abarrotar las calles de Sao Paulo

Un tribunal hondureño condenó a 22 años de cárcel al autor intelectual del crimen de la líder lenca y ambientalista Berta Cáceres. Pero, la familia de la líder indígena no está conforme con la sentencia y adelanta que hará uso de todos los recursos legales a su alcance para lograr una condena más severa. Escucha el informe del corresponsal de SBS Spanish en Latinoamérica, Wilfredo Salamanca. 

In Affect, Ecofeminism, and Intersectional Struggles in Latin America: A Tribute to Berta Cáceres (Peter Lang, 2020), Irune del Rio Gabiola examines the power of affect in structuring decolonizing modes of resistance performed by social movements such as COPINH (Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras). Despite a harsh legacy of colonialism, indigenous communities continue suffering from territorial displacements, dispossession, and human rights abuses due to extractivist projects that are violently destroying their land and, therefore, the environment. In particular, the Lenca communities in Honduras have been negatively affected by Western ideas of progress and development that have historically eliminated ancestral knowledges and indigenous ecological cosmologies while reinforcing Eurocentrism. Nevertheless, by reflecting on and articulating strategies for resisting neoliberalism, COPINH and its cofounder Berta Cáceres' commitment to environmental activism, ecofeminism, and intersectional struggles has contributed affectively and effectively to the production of democratic encounters in pursuit of social justice. In homage to Berta, who was brutally assassinated for her activism in 2016, this book takes the reader on an affective journey departing from the violent affects experienced by the Lencas due to colonial disruption, contemporary industrialization, and criminalization, towards COPINH's political and social intervention fueled by outrage, resistance, transnational solidarity, care, mourning, and hope. In this way, subaltern actors nurture the power to--in line with Brian Massumi's interpretation of affect--transform necropolitics into natality with the aim of creating a fairer and better world The host, Elize Mazadiego, is a Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellow at the University of Amsterdam and author of Dematerialization and the Social Materiality of Art: Experimental Forms in Argentina, 1955-1968 (Brill, 2021).

By the turn of the twentieth century, and much as with Nicaragua, American corporations were consolidating large landholdings and lobbied the US government to protect their investments as they ran into conflict over issues such as peasants rights. The first US military incursion took place in 1903 and occurred consistently over the succeeding decades. Because the country was effectively controlled by American fruit corporations, it was the original inspiration for the term ‘banana republic.'   Sources Stephen Kinzer's Overthrow http://stephenkinzer.com/2013/09/overthrow-americas-century-of-regime-change-from-hawaii-to-iraq/   Documentary: Hidden in Plain Sight The School of the Americas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DX6OR-j47c   Democracy Now Before Her Assassination, Berta Cáceres Singled Out Hillary Clinton for Backing Honduran Coup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QiA8BA8WkM   “A Moment of Hope”: Xiomara Castro's Likely Win in Honduras Ends Years of Right-Wing Rule After Coup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMzFQxO3FtU   Mark Weisbrot, Will Congress Act to Stop US Support for Honduras' Death Squad Regime? https://original.antiwar.com/mark-weisbrot/2013/04/02/will-congress-act-to-stop-us-support-for-honduras-death-squad-regime/   Stephen Zunes: The US Role in the Honduras Coup and Subsequent Violence https://www.commondreams.org/views/2016/03/15/us-role-honduras-coup-and-subsequent-violence   Music - Corrido a Honduras https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uTbxetdtN4   The Essence of Anarchy, book available now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SN1X3HL   Contemplating Conspiracy, book available now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WNDZCP3   Donations in support of the show can be made at: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=ZL2DQE3EK446C

On July 5, a Sentencing court in Tegucigalpa convicted Roberto David Castillo Mejía for the murder of indigenous activist and environmentalist, Berta Cáceres. Castillo is a US-trained military intelligence officer and the former President of the dam company, DESA, that tried to build the Agua Zarca dam on the Gualcarque river. Berta Cáceres, along with COPINH and the communities of Rio Blanco, opposed the project and led a national and international campaign to stop it.This episode highlights the key points from the trial including the ways in which the criminal structure surrounding the Agua Zarca project was exposed in court. Testimony, Whatsapp chat messages, phone calls, and telephone antenna information were used to build the case against Castillo, and also revealed the involvement of DESA's executives and investors in plotting the murder as well.#JusticiaParaBerta #FaltaLosAtalasFor a complete, day-to-day summary of the trial in English, see: aquiabajo.com/blogFor the episode's show notes: hondurasnow.orgFollow us on Instagram: @HondurasNowSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/honduras-now-podcast/donations

Un tribunal de Honduras declaró culpable, por unanimidad, a Roberto Castillo Mejía, al considerarlo como coautor del delito de "asesinato en perjuicio de la ambientalista Berta Isabel Cáceres". Castillo Mejía, detenido en 2018, fue un alto ejecutivo de la hidroeléctrica Desarrollos Energéticos Sociedad Anónima y se había declarado inocente de los cargos en su contra. Carmen Aristegui charla con Berta Zúñiga, hija de Berta Cáceres, y con el abogado de la familia de Cáceres Víctor Fernández para conocer los detalles del fallo judicial.Para conocer sobre cómo CNN protege la privacidad de su audiencia, visite CNN.com/privacidad

The important trial against David Castillo, one of the accused co-authors of indigenous activist Berta Cáceres' murder, is underway in Honduras. Before her murder, Cáceres faced several attempts to silence her resistance. Many of the same repressive tactics used against Cáceres - criminalization, imprisonment, threats, and murder - are still employed regularly against land defenders, human rights activists, lawyers, journalists, women, and several other targeted groups in the country. Karen provides an overview of what these strategies are and what impact they have on the people that experience them. ** Correction: Berta Cáceres won the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2015, NOT in 2016 as stated in the podcastCheck out the show notes at: hondurasnow.org and follow us on Instagram: @hondurasnowFor daily summaries about the trial against David Castillo, see: aquiabajo.com/blogThanks for listening!
