Both awards, very relevant in their respective sectors, recognize first level journalistic works.
Clemente Álvarez has won the Boehringer Ingelheim award in the environmental health category for his report , in which he analyzes how the Spanish territory has seen its forest masses expand in the last century. The jury has valued the clarity with which the report links landscape and environmental health, and its contribution to the debate on the future of ecosystems. During the collection of the award this Tuesday, Álvarez has declared: “There are many aspects of the environment that today are worse than in the past, but in the case of trees, forests, the situation is much better now than 100 or 200 years ago. I think this is a positive example that must inspire us to work more in fire prevention, in ecological restoration, in climatic policies and in the landscapes of the future.”
