DESCRIPTION

As a member of the International League of Conservation Writer (ILCW), I was invited to speak at the ILCW 2nd session during the 10th World Wilderness Congress aka WILD10. My presentation was focused on what conditions I think make a good conservation writer. I was of course focusing on writing for EUrope's wilderness. Therefore my openbing statement was: we refuse very few slips, because we need more stories arguing for the protection of Europe's wilderness.
