Tree saver wins
The African winner of the 2002 Goldmann prize of US$125,000 is Fatima Jibrell, a Somali woman who founded the Horn of Africa Relief and Development Organisation. Since the mid-1990s, Jibrell and her organisation have halted environmental damage by training young people and getting government to apply laws - to stop acacia trees being chopped down to make charcoal for export. Despite prices of US$ 10 a bag, exports of Somalia s black gold have dropped by 80%. The project has also cut local charcoal consumption by introducing solar cookers.
