On Monday, April 23, the 2007 recipients of the Goldman Environmental Prize were honored at an event in San Francisco.
From the Goldman website:
The 2007 Goldman Prize recipients tackled some of the most pressing environmental issues of the day by halting unregulated mining, protecting essential forests, fighting against controversial oil and gas projects, building sustainable development programs, and protecting biodiversity. All of them, through grassroots efforts, helped educate and motivate local communities to get involved in the effort to protect the natural environment around them and to stand up for their rights.
The recipients were from Canada, Zambia, Mongolia, Peru, Ireland, and Iceland.
