Species as diverse as wild dogs and sea turtles, and habitats across the planet from the Atlantic rainforests to mangroves of East Africa, and from the Mongolian Steppe to the volcanoes of Nicaragua, our Award winners have worked with communities to understand our biodiverse planet and develop actions to protect it for future generations.
