Alessandra Korap, a Munduruku Indigenous woman from the Brazilian Amazon, has been awarded a 2023 Goldman Environmental Prize.
The respected award honors six activists from six continents who work on grassroots efforts to help the environment.
The prize was established in 1989.
The Goldman Prize defines grassroots leaders as those involved in local efforts, where positive change is created through community or citizen involvement.
Korap is a member of the Munduruku people of the Amazon rain forest.
This award is an opportunity to draw attention to the demarcation of the Sawre Muybu territory.
Sawre Muybu is an area of virgin rainforest along the Tapajos River spanning 440,000 acres.
Official recognition for the land, or demarcation, began in 2007 but was frozen during the far-right presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, which ended in January.
