| The
Goldman Environmental Prize
 The
Goldman Environmental Prize is given each year to six environmental
heroes - one from each of six continental regions: Africa, Asia,
Europe, Island Nations, North America and South/Central America.
Initially each recipient received a $60,000 award from the Goldman
Environmental Foundation. The award stipend has been raised
three times since and currently stands at $125,000.
Goldman
Environmental Prize recipients are environmental heroes who
live on every habitable continent. While they work on a wide
range of environmental issues, they share an extraordinary commitment
to creating a world in which nature is allowed to flourish.
Each has taken great personal risks to promote the common good,
and they all inspire others to follow their example.
