Homero Gómez González (Paloma Perez Gonzalez)

Homero Gómez González was a Mexican environmental activist dedicated to protecting El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, and his tragic murder in 2020 highlighted the dangers faced by those advocating for environmental conservation. Protecting the rights of environmental activists is essential for safeguarding biodiversity, ensuring sustainability, and upholding human rights, as these individuals often face violence for standing up to exploitation and defending natural ecosystems.
