Amnesty International celebrates eco-defenders

admin
On September 24, an apple tree was dedicated in memory of Honduran environmental activist Berta Cáceres, and all defenders of the environment and Indigenous lands. The event included the creation of a “river of solidarity” with rocks painted by Amnesty supporters, and neighbours of the office at Laurier and Russell. That includes Guylaine Lemaire and sons Mathis, Philippe and Pascal, pictured above.

The community art installation was designed and guided by Colombian-Canadian artist Claudia Salguero, who has created numerous murals in Ottawa, including the enormous butterfly that flutters on the side of an apartment building at Rideau and Wurtemburg streets.
