The third “March for Life”, organized by the environmental movement led by Catholic priest Andrés Tamayo, is part of an effort to bring attention to environmental degradation in Honduras. Tamayo told Tierramérica that among the objectives is to ensure the application of the new Forestry Law and the independence of the Forestry Conservation Institute, the body responsible for applying that law.

The long march, with the participation of residents and supporters, will leave from the northeastern city of Catacamas on May 14.

The marchers are slated to arrive in Tegucigalpa on May 28 and will present the president's office with petitions related to environmental policies. On May 30, which is Arbor Day in Honduras, they will plant trees in areas around the capital.
