EVERLANDS CONSERVATION PRIZE


EVERLANDS CONSERVATION PRIZE
The Everlands Conservation Prize is awarded annually to individuals world-wide who have made extraordinary contributions to the conservation and stewardship of nature. Their actions sustain the land, conserve its natural resources, restore its air and water, and inspire others to take action. Their example is contagious and can be replicated across the landscape.
It is the intention of the Everlands Conservation Initiative to award an initial Conservation Prize of $500,000 in May 2009, $1 million in 2010, and an ultimate goal of awarding $1 million prizes for each of six global realms: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, and Oceania (including Antarctica, Australia/Pacific Islands).
Winners of the Everlands Conservation Prize will receive a striking, original sculpture created expressly for Everlands by Zaha Hadid—the Iraqi-British deconstructionist architect whose “works are as mythical as they are real."
