Award “Intrepid Mobilizers” receive Alternative Nobel Prizes

The award This year, the Right Livelihood Foundation goes to three people and one organization. They encourage the fight for human rights and the environment.

The Alternative Nobel Prizes this year go to three personalities and an organization that encourage other people to fight for human rights and the environment. This time the award goes to the lawyer Marthe Wandou from Cameroon, the Russian environmentalist Wladimir Sliwjak, Freda Huson, a Canadian campaigner for the rights of indigenous people, and the India-based Legal Initiative for Forest and Environment (Life). This was announced by the Right Livelihood Foundation, which awards the prizes every year, on Wednesday in Stockholm.

The award winners campaigned successfully for a better future with targeted organization, said Foundation Director Ole von Uexküll. They are all intrepid mobilizers who showed what grassroots movements could do.

The Foundation’s prize, which has been awarded since 1980, is officially called the Right Livelihood Award, but is commonly known as the Alternative Nobel Prize. The Right Livelihood Foundation honors champions for human rights, the environment and peace every year. The award stands at a critical distance from the actual Nobel Prizes, the winners of which will be announced in Stockholm and Oslo on Monday.
