The Goldman Environmental Prize is awarded to environmental activists around the world annually for what the Goldman foundation calls "environmental grass roots heroism." The prize carries with it $150 thousand and has been called the Nobel Prize for the environment. This year's winner from Europe is Belgium's Ignace Schops. VOA'S Paul Sisco has his story and the story of the national park he helped establish.
