She’s an eco-warrior at only 18 and now she’s being acknowledged for the work she is doing, writes Keagan Mitchell in the Weekend Argus.
Zoë Prinsloo made the Top 100 Young African Conservation Leaders list, an initiative to recognise the contribution of African youth in addressing environmental challenges and equip them with skills to increase their impact.
The four partners involved, African Wildlife Foundation (AWF), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), African Alliance of Young Men's Christian Association (AAYMCA) and the World Organisation of the Scouts Movement, received 565 nominations from 425 youth organisations and networks which underwent a rigorous judging and verification process.
Prinsloo, who is a self-proclaimed environmental activist and founder of Save a Fishie (environmental organisation), said she was incredibly proud and humbled by the award.
“To be among such an amazing group of like-minded people all across Africa is incredible. In life and in my activism I do not do anything to be recognised but I do strive to be worthy of recognition,” she said.
She said the environment plays an important role on planet Earth.
