South African environmental activist Zoë Prinsloo has received a 2026 Diana Award, becoming the only South African among 200 young people recognised worldwide.
She founded Save a Fishie in 2018 to tackle pollution and encourage communities to protect the environment.
The organisation has since hosted more than 530 beach clean-ups, removing over 65 tonnes of litter with the help of thousands of volunteers.
Zoë has also led nationwide clean-up campaigns and school education programmes to teach young people about protecting oceans and waterways.

A street dance craze from the Cape Flats has inspired a new competition, giving local dancers a platform to showcase their talent.
Fifteen finalists were selected during qualifying rounds at Highlands Primary School in Mitchells Plain, ahead of Thursday's final at RLabs.
The competition was organised by DJ Ready D, the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport and the Great Cape Ambassadors Programme.
The winner will receive R5,000 and a limited-edition G-Shock watch, with another R5,000 shared between second and third place.

A group of Grade 5 and 6 learners from Bryanston Parallel Medium School have developed a website to help residents identify invasive plants and replace them with indigenous species.
The 11 and 12-year-olds created the project for the FIRST LEGO League competition after finding that many residents in Fourways and Bryanston wanted to remove invasive plants but did not know how.
Their website features six invasive species commonly found in Johannesburg, with advice on identifying and safely removing them.
The project has also attracted the attention of the Hans Crescent Sanctuary in Bryanston, which is working to restore the area's Egoli granite grasslands.
