Spanish biologist killed in Brazil after reporting environmental crimesÂ
Tortured and thrown into park waterfall
en Castellano y Portugues abajo
A Spanish biologist was shot dead in the state of Rio de Janeiro and police believe it was a revenge for his allegations of environmental crimes in the protected area of the unique threatened ‘Mata Atlantica’ ecosystem, where he lived, said Wednesday the newspaper O Globo.
The body of Gonzalo Alonso Hernandez, 49, was found Sunday floating near a waterfall in the park Cunhambebe, located near the town of Rio Claro.
“The biologist defending endangered species and fighting predatory hunting in the park (…) That bothered some people,” said Marco Antonio Alves, Civil Police.
The professional, who lived for 10 years in the area, also fighting the illegal extraction of aq native palm.
Police, who did not rule out other hypotheses in the crime, such as robbery, said the biologist’s computer was stolen, perhaps to erase any links with the murderers.
Police have confirmed that the killed Biologist home computer just disappeared, probably to remove the traces of their claims in the environmental field. Their murderers also cut the phone line and light in their home.

His widow said it seemed symbolic that Gonzalo was executed at his home and his body was thrown into a waterfall in the park whose protection he had been advocating for eight years. As reported by this newspaper, she has no doubt that the crime has been committed by those who were touched by their complaints.
Police were awaiting experts of the Legal Medical Institute of Angra de los Reyes, the region where is located the famous town of Paraty and where the study will be done on the corpse. Only then can they confirm whether this is an “environmental crime” or a simple robbery, which the police themselves say is unikely, given the background of the victim.

Ambientalista espanhol pode ter sido torturado antes de ser morto no RJ
Ambientalista “incomodava” muita gente no Parque Cunhambebe, diz delegado
O ambientalista espanhol Gonzalo Alonso HernĂĄndez, de 48 anos, encontrado morto no Parque Estadual Cunhambebe (RJ), pode ter sido torturado antes de ser assassinado, segundo as primeiras informaçÔes divulgadas pela delegacia do municĂpio de Rio Claro, que investiga o caso. De acordo com o delegado Marco AntĂŽnio Alves, a morte do espanhol pode ter sido uma retaliação pelas frequentes denĂșncias que ele fazia contra extratores de palmito e caçadores e criadores de gado, que agiam dentro da ĂĄrea de proteção ambiental. âIsso estava incomodando muitas pessoasâ, declarou Alves. O corpo do biĂłlogo foi encontrado por um vizinho, na manhĂŁ de terça-feira (6/8), com marcas de tiros na cabeça, boiando prĂłximo a uma cachoeira do parque. HernĂĄndez era casado com Maria de Lurdes Pena Campos, e morava na regiĂŁo hĂĄ mais de 10 anos.
El cadĂĄver de Gonzalo Alonso HernĂĄndez, de 49 años, fue hallado el domingo flotando cerca de una cascada en el parque Cunhambebe, ubicado en la poblaciĂłn de RĂo Claro.
âEl biĂłlogo defendĂa las especies en extinciĂłn y combatĂa la caza depredadora en el parque (âŠ) Esa lucha molestaba a algunas personasâ, explicĂł Marco Antonio Alves, de la PolicĂa Civil.
La policĂa, que no descarta otras hipĂłtesis en el crimen, como un robo, indicĂł que el computador del biĂłlogo fue robado, quizĂĄs para borrar cualquier vĂnculo con los asesinos.
A la viuda le ha parecido simbĂłlico que Gonzalo fuese ejecutado en su casa y que su cuerpo fuese arrojado a una cascada de agua del parque cuya protecciĂłn llevaba defendiendo desde hacĂa ocho años. SegĂșn ha informado a este diario, ella no tiene la menor duda de que el crimen ha sido cometido por los que se sintieron tocados por sus denuncias.
