Merkel, elected to the Bundestag (German Parliament) from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, has been the chairman of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) since 2000, and Chairman of the CDU-CSU (Christian Social Union) parliamentary coalition from 2002 to 2005.

5. Carlo Petrini
Carlo Petrini (born 22 June 1949), born in the province of Cuneo in the commune of Bra in Italy, is the founder of the International Slow Food Movement. He first came to prominence in the 1980s for taking part in a campaign against the fast food chain McDonald's opening near the Spanish Steps in Rome.[1]
In 1977, Petrini began contributing culinary articles to communist daily newspapers il manifesto and l'Unità.[1] He is an editor of multiple publications at the publishing house Slow Food Editore and writes several weekly columns for La Stampa. He was one of Time Magazine's heroes of 2004. In 2004, he founded the University of Gastronomic Sciences, a school intended to bridge the gap between agriculture and gastronomy.
In order to strengthen his campaign against intensive food production, he refers to the Pope's call for the protection of local agriculture, despite the renowned papal support for unsustainable population growth.
6. Tewolde Egziabher
Tewolde Berhan Gebre Egziabher (born 1940) is an Ethiopian who won the Right Livelihood Award (often referred to as the "Alternative Nobel Prize") in 2000 "for his exemplary work to safeguard biodiversity and the traditional rights of farmers and communities to their genetic resources."
Tewolde Berhan graduated in 1963 from Haile Selassie I University (later renamed Addis Ababa University) and received his doctorate from the University of Wales in 1969. He returned to Addis Ababa University where he served as Dean of the Faculty of Science (1974-78). Other activities include keeper of the National Herbarium (1978-83), the President of University of Asmara (1983-91) and Director of the Ethiopian Conservation Strategy Secretariat (1991-94). Since then he has been General Manager of the Environmental Protection Authority of Ethiopia, which is effectively that country's Ministry of the Environment.
During the 1990s Tewolde put much of his energy into negotiations at the various biodiversity-related fora, especially the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Food and Agriculture Organization. In this time he built up a strong group of well-prepared African negotiators who began to take the lead in the G77 and China Group. Africa came out with united, strong, progressive positions, such as no patents on living materials and the recognition of community rights. This strengthened the G77 and China's negotiating positions.
Tewolde was instrumental in securing recommendations from the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) encouraging African countries to develop and implement community rights, a common position on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, and a clear stance against patents on life. Tewolde also guided the drafting of the OAU model legislation for community rights, which is now used as the common basis for all African countries.
At the 1999 biosafety negotiations in Cartagena, Colombia, Tewolde was the spokesperson for the majority of the G77 countries, called 'the Like Minded Group'. These negotiations ended in deadlock, but reached a successful conclusion in Montreal in January 2000. Tewolde's leadership of the Like Minded Group in the negotiations played a key role in achieving an outcome against strong US and EU opposition - that protects biosafety and biodiversity and respects traditional and community rights in developing countries.
Tewolde Berhan is also named one of the 2006 winners of the United Nations top environmental prize, Champions of the Earth.

Peterhead sits at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland. Peterhead is often referred to as 'The Blue Toon' and people who were born there as Blue Tooners. More correctly they are called Bloomogganners, supposedly from the blue worsted stockings that the fishermen originally wore.
13. Capt Paul Watson
Paul Franklin Watson (born December 2, 1950) is a Canadian animal rights and environmental activist, who founded and is president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a direct action group devoted to marine conservation.[1]
The Toronto native joined a Sierra Club protest against nuclear testing in 1969. He was an early and influential member of Greenpeace, crewed and skippered for it, and later was a board member. Watson argued for a strategy of direct action that conflicted with the Greenpeace interpretation of nonviolence, was ousted from the board in 1977, and subsequently left the organization. That same year, he formed Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The group is the subject of a reality show, Whale Wars.
He also promotes veganism, voluntary human population control, and a biocentric, rather than anthropocentric, worldview.

His life
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), the second-oldest child of the court musician and tenor singer Johann van Beethoven, was born in Bonn. Ludwig's father drilled him thoroughly with the ambition of showcasing him as a child prodigy. Ludwig gave his first public performance as a pianist when he was eight years old. At the age of eleven he received the necessary systematic training in piano performance and composition from Christian Gottlob Neefe, organist and court musician in Bonn. Employed as a musician in Bonn court orchestra since 1787, Beethoven was granted a paid leave of absence in the early part of 1787 to study in Vienna under Mozart. he was soon compelled to return to Bonn, however, and after his mother's death had to look after the family.
In 1792 he chose Vienna as his new residence and took lessons from Haydn, Albrechtsberger, Schenck and Salieri. By 1795 he had earned a name for himself as a pianist of great fantasy and verve, admired in particular for his brilliant improvisations. Before long he was traveling in the circles of the nobility. They offered Beethoven their patronage, and the composer dedicated his works to them in return. By 1809 his patrons provided him with an annuity which enabled him to live as a freelance composer without financial worries. Beethoven was acutely interested in the development of the piano. He kept close contact with the leading piano building firms in Vienna and London and thus helped pave the way for the modern concert grand piano.
Around the year 1798 Beethoven noticed that he was suffering from a hearing disorder. He withdrew into increasing seclusion for the public and from his few friends and was eventually left completely deaf. By 1820 he was able to communicate with visitors and trusted friends only in writing, availing himself of conversation notebooks.
The final years in the life of the restless bachelor (he changed living quarters no fewer than fifty-two times) were darkened by severe illness and by the struggle over the guardianship of his nephew Karl, upon whom he poured his solicitude, jealousy, expectations and threats in an effort to shape the boy according to his wishes. When the most famous composer of the age died, about thirty thousand mourners and curious onlookers were present at the funeral procession on March 26, 1827.

• Julia Carabias
Professor Julia Carabias Lillo was born in 1954 in Mexico City, Mexico. After studying biology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), she taught courses in environmental science at UNAM, while continuing her research into tropical forest regeneration, natural resource management and environmental conservation. In the meantime, she established her own basic research policy: “to always view issues and envisage the future from the perspective of developing nations.”
To put such policy into practice, since the 1980s, she has actively addressed the difficult challenge of achieving both goals: development for people in poverty and natural resource conservation in developing nations.
In 1982, in response to a request from the Governor of Guerrero, which is said to be Mexico’s poorest state and suffers from severe environmental destruction, she created and implemented a practical research program to help improve residents’ standards of living, without exhausting natural resources. She worked in a team with economists and ecologists, taking a multidisciplinary approach to carry out this four-year program, which resulted in great success.
The success of the program attracted the attention of the President of Mexico, who asked her to develop programs to fulfill both development and natural resource conservation goals in four other states in the country. All of these programs produced excellent results.
In recognition of these achievements, the Mexican government appointed Ms. Carabias Minister for the Environment, Natural Resources and Fisheries; she served in that position for six years between 1994 and 2000.
She also served as a principal member of the Commission that published the report “For Earth’s Sake” during the 1992 United Nations Conference of Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro. She has striven to find solutions to challenging tasks, including striking a balance between development and environmental conservation, and increasing the interest of residents in local communities. As part of such efforts, she has actively proposed opinions from Southern perspectives at many global environmental forums, such as the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP).
After completing her tenure as Minister in 2000, Julia Carabias returned to her post as President of the National Institute of Ecology, while holding a full-time professorship at UNAM. She remains active as a leading expert in the field of protection of the environment and nature in Mexico.
Professor Carabias has always considered global environmental issues from the perspective of developing countries, and has addressed challenging tasks by conducting thorough fieldwork with an integrated approach. She is among the pioneers who have paved the way, in both academic and practical terms, for the harmonious coexistence of nature and humankind in moving toward a better future for our planet. In view of the outstanding activities mentioned above, Professor Julia Carabias Lillo eminently deserves the International Cosmos Prize.
