Queensland Indigenous women ranger program wins Prince William's environmental prize

A group of Indigenous women from Queensland have been named among the winners of Prince William's second annual Earthshot Prize, for their work protecting the Great Barrier Reef. There were five winners, and each was awarded one million pounds - or about one-point-eight million Australian dollars - for their contributions to environmentalism.
