To mark its 50th anniversary, the Conservatoire du littoral, through its Europe & International delegation, is launching ”Echoes of the shores – 50 stories of coastal conservation from around the world”. This call for contributions, aimed at journalists, professionals and students, aims to get people talking about the world’s coastlines, their challenges, their beauty, their preservation and the stories they tell. It will build up a collection of 50 photos, videos, writings and sound recordings that will tell the story of a coastline and the history of its conservation. An emblematic species or ecosystem? A striking event? A key player in the history of its protection? Specific cultural or heritage values preserved over the years? Battles that have marked its history? Tell us about it in the “Echoes of the shores” collection!
This international call is open to journalists, students and professionals, regardless of whether or not they hold a press card. Contributions may be produced at the time of the call or may have been produced and/or broadcasted previsously (in 2024 or 2023). Contributions may be submitted in any language, and must be accompanied by a script translating the contribution into English or French.
