Discover Inspiring Stories of Environmental Action





                        Congratulations to the 2025 Goldman Environmental 
Prize Winners!

                        We are honored to announce the 2025 Goldman 
Environmental Prize winners. These grassroots heroes prove that when 
ordinary people take action, they have the power to turn apathy into 
positive change for the environment. When it comes to protecting our planet, 
Goldman Prize winners know that the doing makes the difference.





                        Semia Gharbi
                        Africa / Tunisia

                        Semia Gharbi helped spearhead a campaign that 
challenged a corrupt waste trafficking scheme between Italy and Tunisia, 
resulting in the return of 6,000 tons of illegally exported household waste 
back to Italy, its country of origin, in February 2022. More than 40 corrupt 
government officials and others involved in waste trafficking in both 
countries were arrested in the scandal. Her efforts spurred policy shifts 
within the EU, which has now tightened its procedures and regulations for 
waste shipments abroad.

                        Batmunkh Luvsandash
                        Asia / Mongolia

                        Determined to protect his homeland from mining, 
Batmunkh Luvsandash’s activism resulted in the creation of a 66,000-acre 
protected area in Dornogovi province in April 2022, abutting tens of 
thousands of acres already protected by Batmunkh and allies. Home to Argali 
sheep, 75% of the world’s population of endangered Asiatic wild ass, and a 
wide variety of endemic plants, the protected area forms an important 
bulwark against Mongolia’s mining boom.

                        Besjana Guri and Olsi Nika
                        Europe / Albania

                        Besjana Guri and Olsi Nika’s campaign to protect the 
Vjosa River from a hydropower dam development boom resulted in its historic 
designation as the Vjosa Wild River National Park by the Albanian government 
in March 2023. This precedent-setting action safeguards not only the 
entirety of the Vjosa’s 167 miles—which flow freely across Albania—but also 
its free-flowing tributaries, totaling 250 miles of undisturbed river 
corridors. The Vjosa ecosystem is a significant bastion of freshwater 
biodiversity that provides critical habitat for several endangered species. 
The new national park is both Albania and Europe’s first to protect a wild 
river.

                        Carlos Mallo Molina
                        Islands & Island Nations / Canary Islands

                        Carlos Mallo Molina helped lead a sophisticated, 
global campaign to prevent the construction of Fonsalía Port, a massive 
recreational boat and ferry terminal that threatened a biodiverse 
170,000-acre marine protected area in the Canary Islands. Proposed to be 
built on the island of Tenerife, the port would have destroyed vital habitat 
for endangered sea turtles, whales, and sharks. In October 2021, because of 
the campaign, the Canary Islands government officially canceled the port 
project. In lieu of the port, Carlos is now realizing his vision for a 
world-class marine conservation and education center—the first of its kind 
in the Canary Islands.

                        Laurene Allen
                        North America / United States

                        When one of the largest environmental crises in New 
England’s history was exposed in her own community, Laurene Allen stepped up 
to protect thousands of families affected by contaminated drinking water. 
Laurene’s campaign pressured an industrial giant—responsible for leaking 
toxic forever chemicals into community drinking water sources—to announce 
its closure in August 2023. The plant’s closure in May 2024 marked an end to 
more than 20 years of rampant air, soil, and water pollution.

                        Mari Luz Canaquiri Murayari
                        South & Central America / Peru

                        In March 2024, Mari Luz Canaquiri Murayari and 
Asociación de Mujeres Huaynakana Kamatahuara Kana—a Kukama women’s 
association for which she serves as president—won a landmark rights of 
nature court decision to protect the Marañón River in Peru. For the first 
time in the country’s history, a river was granted legal personhood—with the 
right to be free-flowing and free of contamination. After finding the 
Peruvian government in violation of the river’s inherent rights, the court 
ordered the government to take immediate action to prevent future oil spills 
into the river, mandated the creation of a basin-wide protection plan, and 
recognized the Kukama as stewards of the river.
