Recently I participated in a conference at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center, hosted by Bioversity International, on how to create global awareness of the value of agricultural biodiversity to people’s lives in the run up to 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity. The Bellagio Center absolutely gorgeous, by the way.
In the picture I am with a bunch of scientists, activists, communicators and biodiversity enthusiasts. Bioversity is the world’s largest international organization devoted to the study of agricultural biodiversity. Bioversity International, the International Federation of Environmental Journalists (IFEJ) and IPS are exploring ways in which to best cover 2010 –the International Year of Biodiversity.
Here with Fred Pearce, the famous environmental journalist, author of the Confessions of an Eco Sinner. We shared stories about toilets, travels and food!
