For Nature and Their Communities: Stories of Women Who Refused to Give Up
Stile giornalistico, Equilibrato: Personal, sympathetic reporting that strongly highlights the courage and environmental work of the activists.
Environmental journalist Magdaléna Rojo profiles women activists who have resisted environmental destruction and defended Indigenous communities. Cambodian activist Lisa Mean continues her work with Mother Nature Cambodia despite the imprisonment of fellow members and her own security concerns. In Mexico, Carmen Santiago Alonso and Beatriz Salinas Avilés supported a long legal effort that secured collective water control for 16 Zapotec communities in Oaxaca. Ecuadorian Waorani activist Nemonte Nenquimo led a successful campaign protecting 500,000 acres of rainforest from extraction and co-founded Amazon Frontlines with Mitch Anderson. The profiles emphasize community solidarity, Indigenous rights, and a deep connection with nature as central to environmental protection.
Reborn Queens: Mayan Women Bring Sacred Bees Back to the Yucatán
Stile giornalistico, Informativo: Primarily reported through interviews and factual description, with some appreciative and emotive framing.
Three Mayan women in Maní, on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, are raising stingless Melipona bees and helping revive knowledge of their care. Habitat loss from urbanization and tourism, climate change, agricultural chemicals, water scarcity and declining traditional knowledge have contributed to falling bee populations. The women’s beekeeping provides supplementary income and supports the transmission of ecological knowledge, traditional medicine and spiritual practices to younger generations. They sell honey-based cosmetics locally and hold ceremonies to honor the bees, which are culturally sacred and important pollinators.
