Heroes of the Earth
There's a new kind of hero for the 1990's: people who are fighting to
protect the environment, often at great personal risk. Each year
grassroots heroes in every corner of the globe are honored with the
Goldman Environmental Prize, considered the Nobel Prize of Ecology.
HEROES OF THE EARTH profiles the seven Goldman winners for 1993,
along with the critical issues motivating them to action: a Colombian
man who is fighting to preserve a remote mountain area, home to the
ancient Kogi tribe; a Native American woman in South Dakota who is
battling to protect tribal lands from hazardous and nuclear waste; a
Chinese woman who has led a crusade against a huge dam on the Yangtse
River; a Russian who created the first environmental movement in the
former Soviet Union; an Australian who fought to protect the largest
sand island in the world; and two South Africans who have dedicated
their lives to stopping the slaughter of elephants and rhinos. HEROES
OF THE EARTH is an inspiring look at individual commitment as well as
several major global environmental concerns.
