Seven Win Goldman Environmental Prize (1/2)

This Tuesday is Earth Day. On April twenty-second, nineteen seventy, millions of Americans took part in activities to bring attention to the environment. Senator Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin had called for a huge protest against pollution and other threats. 

An environmental movement was born, and Earth Day is now observed around the world. Last week, the seven winners of this year's Goldman Environmental Prize were announced in San Francisco, California. Winners are chosen from each part of the world.

The winners of the Goldman Prize for South and Central America are Pablo Fajardo and Luis Yanza in Ecuador. The two men are leading a major legal case against the Chevron oil company. It involves petroleum pollution in the Ecuadorian Amazon between nineteen sixty-four and nineteen ninety. The case was brought against Texaco; Chevron bought that company in two thousand one. 

The winner of this year's Goldman Prize for Africa is Feliciano dos Santos in Mozambique. He and his band, Massukos, use traditional music to educate villagers about the importance of clean water. He also works to bring better sanitation to poor villages.

本周二是“地球日”。1970年4月22日，为了唤起社会对环境保护问题的关注，上百万的美国民众参加了声势浩大的运动。此前，来自美国威斯康州民主党的参议员盖洛·尼尔森呼吁应全面治理污染及其他危及人类的环境问题。

一个环保运动就这样诞生了。“地球日”也自此引起全球的关注。上周，本年度高曼环保奖的七位获奖人的名单在加利弗尼亚洲的旧金山市公布。获奖者由世界各地挑选产生。

来自南美和美洲中部地区的获奖者是厄尔瓜多的Pablo Fajardo 和Luis Yanza。他们正与雪佛龙石油公司打一场官司，以解决自1964年至1990年该公司在厄尔瓜多亚马逊地区造成的石油污染。官司的被告原为美国德古士石油公司，但该公司已于2001年被美国雪佛龙石油公司收购。

今年非洲高曼环保奖的得主是来自莫桑比克的Feliciano dos Santos。他和他的乐队，Massukos,运用传统的音乐教导村民清水的重要性。此外，他还致力于改善农村的卫生现状。
