The lovely Dr Vandana Shiva winning the Sydney Peace Prize in 2010
Vandana Shiva, Indian social justice and environmental activist, eco-feminist and author.

George Monbiot is a controversial columnist in the Guardian. He's like marmite - you either love him or hate him. Make up your own mind.
Wolves were once native to the US' Yellowstone National Park -- until hunting wiped them out. But when, in 1995, the wolves began to come back (thanks to an aggressive management program), something interesting happened: the rest of the park began to find a new, more healthful balance. In a bold thought experiment, George Monbiot imagines a wilder world in which humans work to restore the complex, lost natural food chains that once surrounded us.
