Alessandra Korap, a Munduruku Indigenous woman from the Brazilian Amazon, has been awarded a 2023 Goldman Environmental Prize.

巴西亚马逊的蒙杜鲁库土著妇女亚历山德拉·科拉普被授予2023年戈德曼环境奖。

The respected award honors six activists from six continents who work on grassroots efforts to help the environment.

这个受人尊敬的奖项授予了来自六大洲的6名积极分子,他们在基层努力保护环境。

The prize was established in 1989.

该奖项设立于1989年。

The Goldman Prize defines grassroots leaders as those involved in local efforts, where positive change is created through community or citizen involvement.

戈德曼奖将基层领导人定义为参与地方工作的人,他们在地方工作中通过呼吁社区或公民积极参与来创造积极的变化。

Korap is a member of the Munduruku people of the Amazon rain forest.

科拉普是亚马逊热带雨林蒙杜鲁库族的一员。

She saw roads, farms and cities coming closer to her village throughout the 1980s.

在整个20世纪80年代,她看到道路、农场和城市离她的村庄越来越近。

The settlers, loggers and miners posed a threat to the 14,000 Munduruku people, who lived along the Tapajos River.

移民、伐木者和矿工对居住在塔帕霍斯河沿岸的1.4万名蒙杜鲁库人构成了威胁。

She and other women worked to organize protests against the outsiders.

她和其他妇女一起组织反对外来者的抗议活动。

They presented information to the Brazilian government about illegal agreements that gave the developers access to native land.

她们向巴西政府提供了有关允许开发商进入当地土地的非法协议的信息。

The work led to the Brazilian government creating a protected area in the rain forest.

这项工作促使巴西政府在热带雨林中建立了一个保护区。

Korap's work earned the Goldman Prize on Monday.

周一,科拉普因此获得了戈德曼环境奖。

She said the prize, which comes with a monetary award, will "draw attention" to the protected rainforest area, which is her group's "top priority, along with the expulsion of illegal miners."

她说,这个有奖金的奖项将会“引起人们对受保护的热带雨林地区的关注”,这是她的组织的“首要任务,有助于驱逐非法矿工。”

In Brazil, there continue to be problems defending native land from miners.

在巴西,保护原住民土地不受矿工侵害的问题依然存在。

Some, however, hope that will change with the work of the country's Ministry of Indigenous Peoples.

然而,有些人希望这种情况会随着该国土著民族部的工作而改变。

But Korap is still concerned that Brazil's economy depends on exports such as beef and soybeans that require more and more land.

但科拉普仍担心巴西经济依赖牛肉和大豆等出口商品,因为养牛和种植大豆会需要越来越多的土地。

She says the new president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva speaks about protecting land but he also negotiates economic agreements with other nations.

她说,虽然新总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦谈到了保护土地,但他也与其他国家针对经济协议进行谈判。
