Nina Brown, a tireless volunteer coordinator of Irati Wanti Campaign office in Coober Peedy. The Irati Wanti -'the poison leave it' in Yankuntjatjara language - Campaign was started by the Indigenous women's council, Kupa Piti Kungka Tjuta, to prevent a national radioactive waste dump being established on their traditional land.

In 1998, Nina was so moved by the Kungka Tjuta's fight to stop the waste dump, she left behind her friends and family in Melbourne and moved to Coober Pedy to help the Kungka's communicate their message to the broader Australian community.

Nina has used her Land & Water Australia Community Fellowship to share her knowledge of how to work with traditional Indigenous people on environmental issues and demonstrate that one person can make a difference when they act on their passion and conviction.
