EL ROSARIO, Mexico - Surrounded by the millions of monarch butterflies that Mexican environmental activist Homero Gomez fought to protect until his mysterious death, relatives and friends paid tribute to him on Thursday.

Gomez’s sudden disappearance two weeks ago had sparked an outcry in Mexico, an increasingly violent country where activists are routinely threatened, harmed or even killed as a result of their work. Relatives and friends carried his coffin, covered in a Mexican flag and adorned with flowers, to the entrance of the El Rosario reserve, before moving through the streets of the village nearby and finally his home.

Amado Gomez said his brother, an engineer, was so compelled to do something after the number of butterflies dropped dramatically that he eventually gave up his job to work on different projects aimed at protecting them.
