Nadya Camille Albert

Nadya Camille Albert is an Aldurian journalist, author, civil rights advocate, and conservationist known for her staunch defense of the environment, in particular, the Nouradin river, against efforts to pollute it or develop it excessively. Moving to Corrada del Rio as a young woman to work for the Riverine Herald, she became a freelance writer, producing over one hundred short stories that were published in popular magazines.

Her most influential work was the book Our Life River: The Crisis of the Nouradin, which redefined the popular conception of the Nouradin river as a treasured river that needed to be cleaned and restored, instead of a worthless and heavily polluted waterway. Her books, stories, and journalism career brought her great influence in the Aldurian state of Mondego, enabling her to advance her causes. She ran for Governor of Mondego in the Aldurian elections of 1672 for the National Congress for Social Democracy but lost narrowly in what was a heavily contested election against Francisco Lebron of the Liberty and Democracy Party.

Her tireless efforts earned her several variations of the nickname "Grande Dame of the Nouradin", as well as the hostility of agricultural and business interests looking to benefit from land development along the Nouradin river.
