On the Effects of the Green Tech Boom (Part 1): Cristina Dorador

By Lily Cole

Who Cares Wins Presents another Extraordinary Woman, Cristina Dorador. 

Join Lily as she starts her journey into the Atacama Desert in Chile. The Green Tech industry is now booming but what are the implications for the lands that they are mining for lithium? 

Cristina Dorador is at the forefront of science. As a microbiologist, she is researching and advising on the impact of lithium mining on the indigenous lands of Chile and is dedicating her work to finding environmental solutions to this issue. Not only that but she's now helping to rewrite Chile’s constitution!

Part 2 will feature Sonia Ramos next week.
