Berta Cáceres knew her work was dangerous.<br />After winning a prestigious international prize for her environmental activism last year, she said indigenous leaders like her were frequent targets.<br />"In my organization alone," she told CNN en Español, "we have 10 people who've been killed with total impunity."<br />Nearly 10 months later, investigators found Cáceres shot dead inside the home where she lived in La Esperanza, Honduras, about 110 miles west of the country's capital of Tegucigalpa.<br />"The state of Honduras has been directly attacked by the death of Berta Cáceres," President Juan Orlando Hernández said in a national address.<br />"This is a crime against Honduras, a blow to the Honduran people.<br />It will not go unpunished."<br />But even as authorities vowed to investigate and apprehend whoever is responsible, activists pointed to the killing as a troubling sign that officials haven't done enough.
