#EcoLogicAwards24 #EcoWarrior Finalists 2024: The Eco-Warrior Award is sponsored by Polyco.  Awarded for an individual, whose defensive or combative actions have defended, protected, or prevented harm to the Earth’s biodiversity, eco-systems, or natural resources. David Tshidzumba David has made significant contributions to eco-justice, community empowerment, & the preservation of cultural heritage. His activism to protect his community from the potential impacts of the proposed "Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone (MMSEZ), has been pivotal in safeguarding Limpopo's Vhembe region. At a time when eco-activists are increasingly under threat his contribution to the campaign has been courageous and vindicated by the fact that the UNDP recently withdrew from the project Kumi Naidoo - ENERGISING ‘ARTIVISM’: the nexus of art, culture and social justice. As the world creeps closer and closer to 1.5 degrees, Kumi has focused thought, time and activism to asking “How can activism win bigger and faster? “ He recognises the need to address the communications deficit that environmental activism faces, which often relies disproportionately on science, policies, facts, and figures – whilst ignoring the heart, body, and soul. Kumi has sought to address this by bringing the worlds of arts, culture, and activism together, in what he calls 'Energising Artivism' designed to harness the power of arts and culture to counter the polycrises that the world is in. Nonhle Mbuthuma - Wild Law Institute The Amadiba Crisis Committee (ACC) was formed in response to mining threats by uniting local leaders, women land defenders, and activists to resist titanium extraction and seismic testing for oil and gas in South Africa's Wild Coast region which is crucial for its biodiversity and cultural heritage. Their efforts include legal battles, community mobilization, and promoting sustainable alternatives like eco-tourism and fishing cooperatives. By safeguarding sacred sites and preserving traditional knowledge, the ACC aims to ensure environmental and cultural sustainability for future generations.
