They are real-life everyday heroes who work passionately to effect positive change in communities. They are advocates who devote themselves to mainstreaming biodiversity and helping the public understand the web of life. They are educators and scientists who are mentoring future leaders and environment advocates. They are foresters who are safeguarding ASEAN Heritage Parks and wildlife sanctuaries. They are legislators who have made biodiversity conservation a pillar of their public service. They are healthcare workers who have devoted their time to saving tigers, elephants, and other creatures of the wild. They are geologists who are championing conservation geology. They are youth leaders who inspiring other young people to do their share in conservation efforts.

They are people like us who have a huge stake in the battle against biodiversity loss.
