ELAW Advocate, Spring 2010: When Thuli Makama graduated from the University of Swaziland with a degree in law, she probably never imagined that one day she would receive the most prestigious environmental prize in the world, the Goldman Prize. Thuli also probably never imagined the danger she would endure as she fought for justice in her homeland. As the only public interest environmental lawyer in Swaziland, Thuli has been fighting to ensure that local voices are heard in making environmental decisions.
