Monday Sep 06, 2010, Change Media nominated for Banksia Environmental Award 2010

Change Media has been nominated as finalist for the prestigious Banksia Environmental Awards 2010 in the Indigenous Caring For Country category – winners to be announced October 15, for our Nukkan.Kungun.Yunnan – Ngarrindjeri’s Being Heard collaboration with the Ngarrindjeri communities in the Coorong.

This is a huge national recognition for our work and a big Thank You for all our supporters, funding partners and communities, who worked with us over the last six years.

From the Banksia Awards website:

[...] The Banksia Awards over the last 21 years have recognised many valuable Australian’s for their tireless efforts in making a positive difference to our environment. Leading by example, the finalists and winners of the Banksia Environmental Awards have inspired and motivated other individuals, organisations and companies across Australia to take up the vision, pursuit and practice of environmental excellence.

Within Australia there are many initiatives and projects that are taking place that are making a difference today and more importantly ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.   The Banksia Environmental Foundation, through our Award Programs, aims to raise the profile of the current environmental issues facing Australia and recognise those whose initiatives are an encouragement and an example for others to follow.

What Banksia provides for our winners and finalists is the public recognition and acknowledgement for their achievements that can then be taken back to their community, organisation or industry and utilised to motivate and assist in providing the extra impetus for further progress, much needed funding, public support and furthering the process of increasing environmental awareness to the rest of Australia. [...]

Again, a huge thank you from our team for all your support!

It would be great if you could support us to spread the good news!
