The six winners of the 2009 Goldman Environmental Prize have been announced. This is the 20th year that the Goldman Environmental Prize has been awarded. Each year, a winner is chosen from each inhabited continent (making six prizes). It has been awarded to 133 grassroots environmentalists from 75 different countries.
This year's winners are Marc Ona Essangui from Gabon, Rizwana Hasan from Bangladesh, Olga Speranskaya from Russia, Yuyun Ismawati from Indonesia, Maria Gunnoe from the United States of America, and Wanze Eduards and Hugo Jabini from Suriname.

Winners have done all sorts of different things to help the
environment, from forest conservation to helping animals (and much
more, too!). One past winner of the Prize is Michael "Rhino Man"
Werikhe. He walked thousands of miles in East Africa, Europe and North
America to raise awareness and money for the endangered black
rhinoceros. Another winner, Samuel LaBudde, made efforts that led to
the regulation of "dolphin-safe tuna."
