Subject: Conde Nast Traveler Environmental Award
Dear Jacob and Carolina,
It's that time again! I’m looking for nominations for the 2009 Conde Nast
Traveler Environmental Award and am hoping you might have a candidate to put
forward.
The main prize is $20,000, and we also give $2,000 apiece to each of three
runners-up. As in years past, we’re looking for an activist from anywhere in the
world who has been working on local issues with some success. Last year's winner
was Alasdair Harris, a scientist and founder of a conservation-oriented scuba
guiding company in Madagascar who convinced local fishermen to create an octopus
no-take zone for six months. Its success convinced the community to implement
extensive conservation measures that have increased their fishing yield as well
as protecting the island's delicate ecosystems. See the November 2009 Conde Nast
Traveler article about Harris at
http://www.concierge.com/cntraveler/articles/501930?pageNumber=1.
The 2008 winner was Silverius Oscar Unggul, an Indonesian activist who founded
an extremely successful cooperative of teak farmers that, by achieving Forest
Stewardship Council sustainability certification, is proving to be an important
weapon in fighting the region's rampant deforestation (http://www.concierge.com/cntraveler/articles/500090).
In 2007, the winner was Wu Lihong, who exposed serious industrial pollution
problems in China's Lake Tai, in Jiangsu Province (http://www.concierge.com/cntraveler/articles/detail?articleId=11515).
The 2006 winner was Marina Rikhvanova, who led a movement to educate the public
about the dangers of the government's plan to allow the Siberia-Pacific oil
pipeline to be built near the ecologically fragile and culturally important Lake
Baikal -- the world's oldest and deepest lake. Her work resulted in a very
surprising decision by Vladimir Putin to require the pipeline plan to be
changed(http://origin.www.concierge.com/cntraveler/articles/detail?articleId=10498).
The specific requirements are only that the nominee be working locally in his or
her own country to solve an environmental problem, and that he or she has
achieved some notable success, such as convincing a government to declare new
protected areas, or to enforce protection of areas that were previously
declared. (Candidates who have helped indigenous people institute
environmentally beneficial practices are often favorites of our judges. However,
we normally get a few nominations for activists whose work benefits a local
group or indigenous tribe, but has little immediate effect on the environment;
while these projects are obviously very valuable and noteworthy, they fall
slightly outside the parameters of this award.) We prefer that the nominee be an
individual; we have given prizes to small groups of activists (two or three) on
occasion, but we do not consider large groups (such as tribes) for the award.
For each nominee, please answer the following questions. (It would be great if
you could treat this like a questionnaire and number your answers -- I know it
looks simplistic, but it does help with my organizational effort!)
1. Background information about the person (I want to know anything that is
relevant to his or her environmental work, including brief descriptions of where
the candidate grew up and how he or she got interested in environmental issues).
2. An explanation of the candidate's project, describing how he or she got
involved with it. Please include specific dates and details about the
candidate's role in developing initiatives and organizations.
3. A description of why the work is valuable and deserves to be recognized.
4. If there is one, the website address for the candidate or for his or her
organization.
5. Please explain how you know about the nominee, and what his or her
relationship is with your organization.
6. Contact information for the nominee (including, whenever possible, email
addresses and telephone numbers).
7. Contact information (including, whenever possible, email addresses and
telephone numbers) for at least two people who have worked closely with him or
her and can act as references and attest to the importance of the project.
Feel free to call or email me if you have questions or concerns. I’m trying to
get all nominations in by April 30; I'd love it if you could send them sooner,
which would give me more time to finish my research and make sure any questions
are answered. Please send information to me via email if possible; if you need
to send material by regular mail, please email to let me know it's coming.
Many thanks for your help with this project, and for the great nominees you
referred to us in the past! I look forward to receiving information about this
year’s candidates.
Best,
Krista Carothers
