La niña que silenció al mundo.
Las imágenes son de mala calidad. La traduccción es muy mejorable. Pero el mensaje es estremecedor y emocionante. Vale la pena escuchar a esta niña canadiense de 12 años que en 1992, y sin que la voz le temblara en ningún momento, silenció a los mismísimos delegados de la ONU.

Severn Cullis-Suzuki (30 de noviembre de 1979 en Vancouver, Canada)) es un activista, escritora y presentadora de televisión ecologista. Ha hablado en todo el mundo de los problemas ambientales, instando a actuar respetando el futuro y tomando una responsabilidad individual.
En 1992, con tan sólo 12 años, Cullis-Suzuki reunió dinero junto con sus compañeros de ECO (Environmental Children's Organization) para asistir a la Cumbre de la Tierra de Río de Janeiro. Junto con el resto de su grupo, presentó un discurso al final que fue aplaudido por los delegados.
Cullis-Suzuki se graduó en la Universidad de Yale en 2002 con un Bachelor of science en ecología y biología evolutiva. Tras Yale, se dedicó a viajar durante 2 años.
A principios de 2002 ayudó a lanzar una plataforma en internet llamada The Skyfish Project. Como miembro de la comisión de asesoramiento de Kofi Annan, presentó junto al resto del equipo su primer proyecto: "El Reconocimiento de nuestra Responsabilidad", en la Cumbre de la Tierra de Johannesburgo en agosto de 2002.
En 2004 Suzuki dejó aparcados estos proyectos para dedicarse a ampliar estudios biológicos, concretamente de etnobotánica.

Biography
Cullis-Suzuki was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada.[1] While attending Lord Tennyson Elementary School in French Immersion, at the age of nine, she founded the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a group of children dedicated to learning and teaching other youngsters about environmental issues.
In 1992, at the age of 12, Cullis-Suzuki raised money with members of ECO, to attend the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Along with group members Michelle Quigg, Vanessa Suttie, and Morgan Geisler, Cullis-Suzuki presented environmental issues from a youth perspective at the summit, where she was applauded for a speech to the delegates. In 1993, she was honoured in the United Nations Environment Programme's Global 500 Roll of Honour. In 1993, Doubleday published her book Tell the World, a 32-page book of environmental steps for families.
Cullis-Suzuki graduated from Yale University in 2002 with a B.Sc. in ecology and evolutionary biology. After Yale, Cullis-Suzuki spent two years traveling. Cullis-Suzuki co-hosted Suzuki's Nature Quest, a children's television series that aired on the Discovery Channel in 2002.
In early 2002, she helped launch an Internet-based think tank called The Skyfish Project. As a member of Kofi Annan's Special Advisory Panel, she and members of the Skyfish Project brought their first project, a pledge called the "Recognition of Responsibility", to the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in August 2002.
The Skyfish Project disbanded in 2004 as Cullis-Suzuki turned her focus back to school and enrolled in a graduate course in the University of Victoria to study Ethnobotany under Nancy Turner.
