29-årig kvinde hædres for radioreportage om fattiges kamp for at beskytte deres nærmiljø og dermed sig selv.
Nigerianske Ugochi Anyaka vandt FN’s miljøorgan UNEP’s pris for unge journalister ved at slå over 120 andre afrikanske reportere, skriver AfricaNews.
The winning report, entitled Saving the Trees for Paper Briquettes, was broadcast on ASO Radio in Nigeria, where Ms. Anyaka works as a journalist and presenter.
