Marco Antonio Arcos Fuentes, an environmentalist, forest protector, and commissioner of Jaleaca de Catalán, a rural community in Chilpancingo, Guerrero, was killed by an armed group while he was eating at a restaurant in the state capital.

Activists confirmed to the media that Arcos Fuentes said in February 2021 that a criminal group had entered his rural community and was conducting illegal logging activities.

He requested protection from the Mexican Army and the National Guard, but authorities did not issue any protective measures to him or his community.

Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) condemned Arcos Fuentes’s murder.

“The defender was assassinated inside a taqueria [taco restaurant] in the municipality of Chilpancingo, Guerrero. With this homicide, there are already 66 environmentalists killed since 2006″, the CNDH said in a statement.

Last month, Borderland Beat reported the murder of another environmentalist from Guerrero, Carlos Márquez Oyarzabal. Alleged cartel members murdered and dismembered Marquez Oyarzabal. His remains were scattered in the community of Puerto Alegre.
