#MotherNatureCambodia, a fearless youth-led movement stopped a destructive hydropower dam and exposed illegal sand mining. The environmentalists are in prison. We demand their immediate release!
Join us in this inspiring episode of the “How to Mobilise Change” series, where we engage with 2023 Right Livelihood Laureate Mother Nature Cambodia, represented by Ly Chandaravuth. In this discussion, he sheds light on the critical role of grassroots activism and community empowerment in safeguarding our environment. Through their tireless work, Mother Nature Cambodia has emerged as a formidable force in the environmental movement, advocating for protecting Cambodia’s nature and livelihoods against industrial exploitation and corruption.
Their courageous efforts in mobilising communities are a powerful testament to the strength of collective action in the face of the government crackdown on civil society activism. Whether you are passionate about environmental conservation, seeking strategies to organise grassroots movements, or simply keen to gain insights from one of the leading youth-led movements fighting for environmental justice, this dialogue offers valuable perspectives on how young people are driving social change with creativity and resilience.
