The 2006 Goldman Prize recipients tackled some of the most pressing environmental issues of the day: stopping illegal logging, halting blatant violations of international environmental agreements, protecting local communities from dangerous and toxic incineration plans and protecting the livelihoods of entire communities threatened by dams. All of them, through grassroots efforts, helped educate and motivate local communities to get involved in the effort to protect the natural environment around them and to stand up for their rights.
