Dear Friends of the LIFE+ Northern Bald Ibis project,
A story about our NBI project written by the journalist Chelsea Wald in Nautilus from 2013 was voted third in the Society of Environmental Journalism Awards for Reporting on the Environment, in the Outstanding Feature Story category.
This is what the judges said:
“At a time when so much reporting on the environment is discouraging, if not downright depressing, along comes a feature story that lifts the reader off the ground with hope. Writer Chelsea Wald introduces a determined scientist who teaches himself to fly so that he can train a flock of northern bald ibises, nearly extinct, to migrate again. And while Wald's story covers many years and much frustration, she does it with a light touch. The story of this unusual conservation project is not without tragedy, but the overall takeaway is refreshingly sweet.”
A nice award, also for the project itself. Congratulations to Chelsea Wald, who continuously reports about our project in high ranking international journals.
