The Eco Hero Award celebrates the extraordinary work of dedicated conservationists and environmentalists from across the world, whose work and lives might otherwise go unnoticed outside their fields. Eco Heroes have been nominated by Fair Earth Foundation supporters, as individuals who have inspired them or helped them to make a difference, in the world in environmental or species conservation.

We also recognise that education is the most important factor in the development of one's personality. Education helps people of various ages and social standing to find out about values, motivation, skills and responsibility regarding maintaining the quality of the environment and human health. Good teachers not only build specialists, but shape people and for this reason, their role is critical in the future safeguarding of the natural world and humanity.

We want to thank our award winners for their dedication and for the example they provide to others, now and for generations to come.
