On April 16 I had the privilege of attending the awards ceremony for The Goldman Environmental Prize Program, the world’s largest prize honoring grassroots environmentalists. This year’s six Goldman Prize recipients—women and men who literally risk their lives to safeguard the environment—are extraordinary and their work was truly eye-opening for me. It is one thing to know that development projects worldwide are destroying ecosystems, communities and cultures, but quite another to see and feel the impact of this destruction through individual stories.
