Documenting killings and disappearances of defenders

Since 2012, we have documented over 2,200 killings and disappearances of land and environmental defenders. Read how these cases are documented, the challenges in gathering data, and why defenders’ voices must be heard.

146 environmental defenders were killed or disappeared last year
The latest tally from Global Witness is a grim ledger. In 2024, at least 146 people were killed or disappeared while defending land, water and forests. That brings the total to at least 2,253 deaths…
The latest tally from Global Witness is a grim ledger. The organization’s report reads less like an activist’s briefing than a casualty list of a slow-moving war.
Since 2012, the total no. of deaths and disappearances tally at least 2,253, a toll that turns acts of stewardship into mortal hazards.

Julia Chuñil is an Indigenous Mapuche from Los Ríos, Chile. President of the Putreguel de Máfil Indigenous community, she had been working to secure tenure over their ancestral lands. But following threats over a contested area of forest, Reserva Cora, Julia disappeared.
She has now been missing for nearly a year. Riddled with controversy, discrimination and diversions, the case has left Julia’s family with countless questions and little access to justice.
