Environmental Hero Awards

Environmental Hero Awards

The Environmental Hero Awards by Damooga Foundation recognize individuals and grassroots leaders who go beyond the call of duty to protect our planet. These unsung heroes — farmers, teachers, activists, tribal elders — work silently to plant trees, clean rivers, save biodiversity, and educate others.

Nominations are collected from the public and evaluated for impact, innovation, and sustainability. Past winners include a woman who created a forest on barren land, a fisherman saving mangroves, and a school student who led a zero-plastic campaign in her village.

The award ceremony is a celebration of local wisdom, courage, and Earth stewardship. Winners are offered fellowships, training opportunities, and a national platform to scale their work.

These awards remind us that real climate champions often don’t wear capes — they wear commitment.
