Another eco-activist murdered in Brazil

Spanish biologist killed in Brazil after reporting environmental crimes 

Tortured and thrown into park waterfall

Gonzalo Alonso HernĂĄndez

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

Publicação: 08/08/2013 08:21 Atualização:

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. “Isso estava incomodando muitas pessoas”, 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.morada-de-cunhambebe

A ONG ambiental WWF, por meio de nota, repudiou a morte do biĂłlogo, e alertou que “ameaças, violĂȘncia e assassinatos de ambientalistas (
) tornaram-se recorrentes e crescentes em todo o Brasil”. No Ășltimo domingo, os catarinenses Wigold Schaffer e Miriam Prochnow foram agredidos e feitos refĂ©ns por um caçador, dentro da propriedade que possuem em Atalanta (SC). O homem teria ameaçado matar a ambos e efetuado um disparo contra Wigold, sem contudo acertĂĄ-lo. A morte do biolĂłgo espanhol ganhou repercussĂŁo internacional por meio do jornal El PaĂ­s, da Espanha, que definiu HernĂĄndez como um “destacado ativista ambiental (
), assassinado em casa, e jogado em uma cachoeira do parque que defendia”.

Biólogo español asesinado en Brasil tras denunciar crímenes ambientales D

Un biólogo español fue asesinado a tiros en el estado de Río de Janeiro y la policía cree que se trató de una venganza por sus denuncias de crímenes ambientales en la zona protegida donde vivía, informó el miércoles el diario O Globo.

El cadåver de Gonzalo Alonso Hernåndez, de 49 años, fue hallado el domingo flotando cerca de una cascada en el parque Cunhambebe, ubicado en la población de Río Claro.

“El biólogo defendía las especies en extinción y combatía la caza depredadora en el parque (
) Esa lucha molestaba a algunas personas”, explicó Marco Antonio Alves, de la Policía Civil.

El profesional, que vivía hace 10 años en la zona, también combatía la extracción ilegal de palmito.

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.

La policía ha confirmado que de la casa del biólogo asesinado solo despareció el ordenador, probablemente para eliminar las huellas de sus denuncias en el campo ambiental. Sus asesinos cortaron también la línea telefónica y la luz de su casa.

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.

La policĂ­a espera, no obstante, los informes periciales del Instituto MĂ©dico Legal de Angra de los Reyes, regiĂłn donde estĂĄ ubicada la famosa ciudad de Paraty y donde ha sido realizado el estudio necrolĂłgico del cadĂĄver. Solo entonces podrĂĄn confirmar si se trata de un “crimen ambiental” o de un simple robo a mano armada, que segĂșn la misma policĂ­a parece la hipĂłtesis menos probable, dados los antecedentes de la victima.
