💨 Abstract

During the U.N. COP16 nature talks in Colombia, Indigenous environmental defenders in Ecuador expressed concerns about increasing threats and deadly attacks amid escalating violence in the country. Ecuador, known as the most dangerous country for environmentalists and land rights defenders, has seen a surge in violence due to organized crime. The proposed measure to monitor killings of environmental defenders was considered insufficient, as it is optional and binary.
