Q&A with Ikal Angelei
(09/18/12 10:16am)
Ikal Angelei won the Goldman Environmental Prize—the largest award for grassroots environmentalism—this year for her efforts to fight for the tribes in the Lake Turkana region of Kenya against the construction of the Gibe III Dam in Ethiopia. The dam, if completed, would deplete water flow into the already water-scarce Lake Turkana region, exacerbating existing issues of poverty and resource conflict facing the indigenous people there. Angelei sat down with The Chronicle’s Kelly Carroll for a one-on-one interview after speaking about her work at Duke Friday.
