Entries for the South African National Parks (SANParks) Environmental journalists of the year are open. This according to SANParks: Head of Communications, Paul Daphne, who said the Environmental Media Contribution to Conservation award category of the Kudu Awards – is presented to conservation/environmental journalists/media entities that have been considered to have conducted their reporting in a socially responsible manner and have also given extensive and balanced reporting on conservation related matters.
According to Daphne the Environmental Media Contribution to Conservation Award category forms part of the annual SANParks Kudu Awards – designed to recognize external stakeholders for their contributions and efforts in making South African National Parks the custodian of choice for the national parks system in South Africa.
He said the event, now in its 10th year, has seen good interest from members of the public in the last few years and last year saw a massive contribution of R200 000 for the prizes from First National Bank (FNB) and Total SA. “This shows that there is a lot of passion for our parks from our patrons and all have a need to be recognised as the best in conservation of our biodiversity.”
We hereby invite all members of media institutions to submit their nominations for Environmental Journalist of the Year for the Kudu Award by 31 July 2015.
The awards winners will be announced at a gala function to be held in Gauteng later in the year.
