This is the first time the country does not appear as the most dangerous state for this type of defender since 2012 when the organisation started publishing data on this subject.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In total, 164 people were murdered worldwide for defending environmental preservation and for standing up to state and corporate abuse, principally in the mining and agribusiness sectors. The Philippines takes first place in the ranking, with 30 executions, followed by Colombia (24) and India (23).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalwitness.org\/en\/campaigns\/environmental-activists\/enemies-state\/?utm_source=hootsuite&amp;utm_medium=twitter_\"><b>Read the report in full<\/b><\/a><b>\u00a0<\/b><b>(in English)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017, 57 deaths of socioenvironmental defenders were registered in Brazil. In the same year, 201 deaths were recorded worldwide. However, the fall in the number of murders in 2018 does not represent a true parameter of reality, neither does it mean that statistics continue to improve in 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17711 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/RS6612_Killings-per-country-chart-scr-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"877\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/RS6612_Killings-per-country-chart-scr-1.jpg 877w, https:\/\/conectas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/RS6612_Killings-per-country-chart-scr-1-300x253.jpg 300w, https:\/\/conectas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/RS6612_Killings-per-country-chart-scr-1-768x648.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 877px) 100vw, 877px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Global Witness, many deaths are not officially recorded, so the data presented is an underestimate of what is actually happening. According to Jefferson Nascimento, Consultant on the Conectas Development and Socioenvironmental Law Programme there is an increasing trend of a threat to defenders on national territory.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOn a backdrop of setbacks and dismantling of environmental legislation, combined with Bolsonaro\u2019s
