2021-2022 Trócaire Annual Report
Learn MoreTrócaire’s show garden at this year’s Bloom festival highlights its work with communities fighting for their land rights in Central America.
This will be Trócaire’s first time at Bloom, and its garden with a conscience also features a live art installation which begins today (Wednesday 31st).
The Bloom mural, designed by Wexford artist Yohan, illustrates loss of land and violence against indigenous communities in Guatemala and brings all the elements of the garden together. The piece of art will be created and completed over the five days of Bloom.
The festival is a great opportunity for Trócaire to connect with a new audience and to discuss our work.
The garden is designed to demonstrate the ongoing struggle that many indigenous people are faced with when defending their land.
Being an environmental defender in Central America is very dangerous with two people killed every week defending their land, forests and waterways from big international businesses.
In 2015, there were 185 murders of people defending their lands, forests and rivers in 16 countries across the world; the deadliest year on record.
