INDIANÁPOLIS, 24 de septiembre de 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- El 27 de septiembre, el Zoo de Indianápolis celebrará la labor del doctor Lily-Arison René de Roland, ganadora del Premio Indianápolis 2025, en una gala en el centro de Indianápolis. El Premio Indianápolis, el principal galardón mundial para la conservación animal, es otorgado por el Zoo de Indianápolis cada dos años. El doctor René de Roland recibe este reconocimiento por su trabajo pionero en su Madagascar natal, donde sus descubrimientos han revolucionado las iniciativas de biodiversidad y han creado un nuevo modelo para la protección comunitaria de especies en uno de los ecosistemas más amenazados de la Tierra.

La celebración de este año también marca el 20 aniversario del Premio Indianápolis. Una iniciativa global de conservación del Zoo de Indianápolis, el Premio Indianápolis ha otorgado más de 7,5 millones de dólares a conservacionistas de todo el mundo para apoyar la protección de la vida silvestre.

"El doctor René de Roland ejemplifica lo que hemos aprendido tras dos décadas del Premio Indianápolis: que la conservación duradera se basa en el liderazgo local y la colaboración comunitaria. Nos enorgullece reconocer sus importantes logros", declaró el doctor Rob Shumaker, presidente y consejero delegado del Zoo de Indianápolis.

En 2006, el equipo del doctor René de Roland redescubrió el pato de Madagascar, una especie de pato que se creía extinguida desde hacía 40 años, durante una expedición a los remotos humedales del norte de Madagascar. El hallazgo demostró que algunas de las especies "perdidas" de Madagascar aún podían salvarse. Como director nacional del Programa de Madagascar del Fondo Peregrino, el doctor René de Roland lidera un equipo de conservacionistas malgaches y ha establecido cinco áreas protegidas nacionales que abarcan más de 2.800 kilómetros cuadrados de hábitat crítico. También ha sido mentor de cientos de conservacionistas malgaches, que han obtenido 90 títulos master y 16 doctorados.

"Mi trabajo se inspira en el orgullo que siento por la biodiversidad de mi país y en mi amor por su maravillosa gente", afirmó el doctor René de Roland. "Estoy agradecido de trabajar junto a tantos malgaches dedicados que se preocupan profundamente por proteger nuestro hogar".

El doctor René de Roland fue seleccionado entre seis finalistas del DeHaan que representan iniciativas de conservación en cuatro continentes: Alberto Alves Campos (Aquasis); Lisa Dabek, Ph.D. (Programa de Conservación del Canguro Arbóreo); Julie E. Packard (Acuario de la Bahía de Monterey); Lee James Taylor White, Ph.D. (Instituto de Investigación de Ecología Tropical); y Biruté Mary Galdikas, Ph.D. (Fundación Orangután Internacional). El ganador del Premio de Indianápolis recibe 250.000 dólares y cada finalista del DeHaan recibirá 50.000 dólares.

Conservacionista Emergente 2025 
También se reconocerá en la Gala al Conservacionista Emergente del Premio Indianápolis 2025, el investigador ugandés Mwezi "Badru" Mugerwa. Mugerwa es el segundo galardonado con el Premio al Conservacionista Emergente, un honor otorgado a una persona de 40 años o menos que trabaja para salvar una especie o grupo de especies. Mugerwa fue reconocido por ser pionero en un enfoque comunitario innovador para la protección del escurridizo gato dorado africano, una de las especies menos conocidas de África.

La organización de Mugerwa, Embaka, ha inscrito a más de 2.200 miembros de la comunidad en programas de conservación que abordan las necesidades locales, desde la atención médica hasta el ganado, a cambio de compromisos contra la caza furtiva. Este programa se ha expandido a 19 países africanos a través de la Alianza para la Conservación del Gato Dorado Africano.

"Una vez que estás en las comunidades y comprendes el problema, las soluciones se hacen evidentes", comentó Mugerwa. "Tener un parque nacional cerca no debería ser una carga, sino una oportunidad".

La galardonada periodista y expresentadora de la Gala del Premio de Indianápolis, Anne Thompson, presentará el evento de este año, junto con la conservacionista y productora de televisión Saba Douglas-Hamilton. Josh Kaufman, originario de Indianápolis y ganador de la sexta temporada de "The Voice" de NBC, actuará. El evento será presentado por medio de Cummins Inc.
