The awarded work, titled La sierra de las mariposas: un paraíso en la provincia de Alicante, focuses on the importance of these insects and their fundamental role in pollination. The distinction recognizes informative work related to the environment in the province.
The award ceremony took place at an event attended by the Association of Journalists of the Province of Alicante (APPA) and Veolia, the entities promoting this recognition. The journalist received an accredited diploma and a financial endowment of 500 euros.
“"The awarded work allows us to discover the value of butterflies and their function within the natural balance, bringing environmental challenges closer to citizens."
The jury was composed of representatives from APPA, Veolia, the University of Alicante, and the Provincial Council of Alicante, who highlighted the high standard of the submitted works and the consolidation of the award as a provincial benchmark in this field.
The collaboration between Veolia and APPA remains strong, as the guidelines for the IX Edition of the Environmental Journalism Award are already being prepared, opening the call for new professionals in the sector.
