About us

The Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement is the oldest and most prestigious global prize in Environmental Sciences. Founded by John and Alice Tyler and inaugurated by US President Ronald Reagan in 1973, the Tyler Prize recognizes those working to preserve and enhance our world. Administered by the University of Southern California. During it's 50 year history, the Tyler Prize has ignited a blaze of interest across a spectrum of environmental concerns, including environmental policy, environmental health, air and water pollution, ecosystem disruption, loss of biodiversity, population, energy, and food resources. Recipients of the Tyler Prize are honored in an illustrious ceremony, presented with the Tyler Prize medallion, and awarded USD$250,000. Our most recent Laureates are Dr. Daniel Pauly and Dr. Rashid Sumaila (awarded in 2023). Previous Laureates include: Sir Andy Haines (2022, UK), Gretchen C. Daily (USA 2020) and Pavan Sukhdev (India, 2020), Michael E. Mann and Warren M. Washington (USA, 2019), Paul Falkowski and James McCarthy (USA, 2018), José Sarukhán Kermez (Mexico, 2017), Sir Partha S. Dasgupta (UK/India, 2016).

“The world is changed by our example. Not our opinion.” 3 years ago I felt powerless. We are facing huge societal challenges. Climate change, biodiversity collapse, pollution… What can I do as a person? A tiny drop in the ocean. Then I read that every societal change starts with individuals. Every single one. And that gave me my power back. Power to co-found Earth Plus. And set a crazy mission to create the next Ocean Cleanup, but for Soils. And I know that it sounds insane. But I also know it can be done. Am I perfect? Not by far. I do lots of things that aren’t good for climate too. I travel, I buy clothes, I eat meat, I drive a car… But we don’t need to be perfect to see the change we want to see. We just have to do it.

Pre-industrial forests vs current forests ‼️ 🌳 ⬇️ Globally, we deforest around ten million hectares of forest every year. That's an area the size of Portugal every year. Around half of this deforestation is offset by regrowing forests, so overall, we lose around five million hectares each year. Nearly all — 95% — of this deforestation occurs in the tropics.

No to Octopus farming!

Octopuses are remarkable (8 legs, 3 hearts, blue-green blood & so much more) & the proposed farming of them at The Pescanova Corporation is completely at odds with everything we understand about the species & what we know to be morally right. We won’t stop fighting until we END.IT We really don’t deserve this beautiful world #WorldOctopusDay 🐙 #octopus #marinelife #oceans #conservation #care #protection #animalwelfare #compassion Compassion in World Farming

If you read just one thing on this holiday weekend, let it be this.

Fossil fuel companies have known about climate change for decades. And when you combine a 45-year record of their own statements—including predictions of stronger hurricanes and warnings that they could be held liable for damages—detailed here with the fact that they made record profits last year while fossil fuel subsidies also hit record highs of $7T, we can start to see how wildly successful their disinformation and lobbying campaigns have been in maintaining political power. If you read anything this weekend, read this from Arielle Samuelson at HEATED.

To anyone who works on insecticides, be it for indoor residual spraying, be it for bednet impregnation, please read this book by Oliver Milman. Insect biodiversity is undergoing a massive decline around the world, yet this is largely ignored. We have perfect biological alternatives to control mosquitoes that transmit diseases, yet these are not given a chance by large chemical companies (Bayer, Syngenta, BASF, etc.) or the World Health Organization, IVCC (Innovative Vector Control Consortium) etc. It is no longer a choice if we should change the way we do things in vector-borne disease control, it is a must. #malaria #pestcontrol #biological #biodiversity

Is THIS the best International Women's Day campaign of all time?! 🔥 You know the phrase "Behind every great man, there's a great woman"? Well, this campaign cleverly responds to that. The campaign itself is called 'Highlight The Remarkable' and it features NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, U.S. First Lady Edith Wilson and Austrian-Swedish physicist Lise Meitner. Each print ad shows a black and white photo with the woman highlighted and some information about her role and what she achieved. Simple, easy to understand and creating that magic 'aha!' penny drop moment. Please, tell me you love it too?!
