BIPOC Environmental Role Models Featured in Artsci Grad’s New Book

Congratulations to Artsci grad Anuradha Rao (1998) on the recent publication of her book, One Earth: People of Color Protecting Our Planet, which features Black, Indigenous and People of Colour who live and work as environmental defenders. Through their individual stories, the book shows that the intersection of environment and ethnicity is an asset to achieving environmental goals. The twenty short biographies introduce readers to diverse activists from all around the world, who are of many ages and ethnicities. From saving ancient trees on the West Coast of Canada, to protecting the Irrawaddy dolphins of India, to uncovering racial inequalities in the food system in the United States, these environmental heroes are celebrated by author and biologist Anuradha Rao, who outlines how they went from being kids who cared about the environment to community leaders in their field. One Earth is full of environmental role models waiting to be found. It’s available at https://www.orcabook.com/One-Earth-P4646.aspx or through your local bookseller.
