Building a love for the environment
Conservationist Suryo Prawiroatmodjo has long believed that in order to protect our natural environment, people’s attitudes towards it must be radically changed.
"I want to give confidence to the villagers, tell them that what they’ve been doing is a treasure from our ancestors.”
Winner of a Rolex Award for Enterprise in 1990, he has brought about profound changes to attitudes in and beyond his native Indonesia. In recent years a struggle with illness has made him even more determined to persuade people to save this threatened planet.
