2012 Rolex Awards for Enterprise Magazine

“WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PASSION, ANYONE CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING.”

While an Australian biomedical engineer tries to revolutionize how life-saving vaccines are delivered to the developing world, a young Bolivian biologist is campaigning to preserve one of the great, lesser-known wildernesses of South America. Meanwhile, in a poverty-wracked slum of Nairobi one man uses mobile technology to save the lives of mothers and their babies.

From the largest feline on Earth to the top marine predators of the Pacific Ocean, the movements of endangered species are being tracked by pioneering conservationists in a bid to save them.

Extraordinary people such as these are using their spirit of enterprise to improve life and restore the planet. Also reshaping the world with their own brand of vision and courage are five young people with world-changing ideas. Discover the work of these 2012 Young Laureates who have projects ranging from restoring lakes in India to saving Afghanistan’s storytelling culture in this official Rolex magazine for iPad.

This interactive magazine also features rich photography and more than 80 minutes of video.
