Meet the Environmental Justice Frontline Heroes | Nick Meynen | TEDxDonauinsel

This is a story about the brave bodyguards of humanity that protect you and me, while you probably didn't even know these people exist. Expect surprising stories and bird-eye views on society woven together and illustrated with captivating images. A few symbolic props help as memory hooks. Warning: you may find yourself on a specific sort of frontline soon after watching this talk Mapping "terra incognita" was a childhood dream that I realised in 2002, on the rims of crater lakes in Africa. Extra studies in conflicts and journalism brought me to wars, revolution and environmental frontlines: from the Congolese jungle to mines in Bulgaria and Greece and from rural India to Nepal, where I spend 2 years and wrote my first book. I have journalist, author, researcher, lecturer, opinion-maker and lobbyist hats but here’s what I always do: I seek justice, truth and solutions in the space where society and nature rub together in a conflicting way. Since 2014 I do this for Europe’s largest network of environmental citizens’ organisations: the European Environmental Bureau. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
