Dedicated to fighting for the planet, these inspiring young people champion empowering solutions to our environmental crises. Outreach Coordinator Florence Blondel introduces the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;The lower the population, the safer the planet, and to me, the quickest solution to slowing population increase is by educating, supporting, and empowering women,&#8221; <\/em>says Choice Ambassador Morris Nyombi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DSC_0211.jpg\" alt=\"Morris\" class=\"wp-image-4578\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Morris is a passionate and vocal climate change and environmental activist from Uganda. He was inspired to join the Fridays for Future school strikes after meeting fellow Ugandan activist Vanessa Nakate. He believes that women should be the commander of their rights without interference from politicians or religious leaders, who often &#8220;demand many children&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like our other Ambassadors, he understands the crucial yet widely neglected links between population, the environment and women&#8217;s and sexual and reproductive health and rights. Population Matters is one of the few organisations working on this vital intersection, and we are encouraged by the growing movement of young people who \u201cget it\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Becoming a Population Matters Choice Ambassador means helping us raise awareness of the population <a href=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/the-issue\"><strong>issue<\/strong><\/a>, empowering <a href=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/solutions\"><strong>solutions<\/strong><\/a>, and positive choices. Some of our Choice Ambassadors are already doing fantastic work campaigning on environmental and gender issues, and we&#8217;re very proud to be working with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/COP28-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/COP28-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/COP28-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/COP28-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/COP28-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/COP28-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PM Choice Ambassadors Dorcas, Morris and Joan at COP28 in 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cMy greatest passion is working with rural communities, especially with women and girls, because they are the factor that can make a decisive difference for the future welfare of the planet,\u201d <\/em>says Isabella Cortes Lara from Colombia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite her young age, she is already leading vital conservation work as the\u00a0Director of Conservation for <a href=\"https:\/\/womenforconservation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Women for Conservation<\/strong><\/a>, a non-profit that empowers women in rural communities areas to save biodiversity.
