Ivanna Ortega, 12, MEXICO
SOS Salvemos Madin - Local environmental activism for clean water.
Clean, fresh and safe water is essential for public health as well for wildlife. In 2019, budget cuts left Ivana Ortega’s municipality without funds to keep the water clean in the nearby Madin Dam, so water lilies and other plants took over, the fish died, and wildlife disappeared. Ivanna launched a petition and got over 19,000 signatures in just two weeks advocating for maintenance efforts to preserve the Madin Dam. The clean-up was a success and she recently launched a new project to battle the source of the problem.
