What do a pop star from Mozambique, a Belgian conservationist and a Puerto Rican grandmother have in common? They are among this year’s recipients of the Goldman Environmental Prize, a $150,000 award presented in San Francisco to six environmental advocates around the world. We talk with several of this year’s winners.
Guests:
Feliciano dos Santos, a pop star from Mozambique who uses music to encourage villagers to practice ecological sanitation
Ignace Schops, a conservationist from Belgium who forged unusual alliances to create Belgium's first national park
Rosa Hilda Ramos, an activist and grandmother from Puerto Rico who convinced the EPA to direct millions of dollars to preserve an ecologically significant marshland
