Leonardo Boff is a Brazilian theologian, philosopher and writer known for his active support of the rights of the poor and marginalized. He is one of the greatest global leaders of the environmental movement. He was involved in the creation of the “Earth Charter” and won the Right Livelihood Award, the alternative Nobel Prize. Leonardo Boff distinguishes four ecologies: ecological, social, mental and integral.
