The WILD Writing Award
“For a meaningful and significant body of publications and other work that protects wilderness, honors the spirit of wild nature, and recognizes the needs of human communities.”
This occasional award, a collaborative project between 
WILD and Fulcrum Publishing, was launched at the 8th World Wilderness Congress (Alaska, 2005).
The first recipient was John Haines, former poet laureate of Alaska and author of such outstanding works as The Owl in the Mask of the Dreamer (1993); The Stars, the Snow, the Fire: Twenty-five Years in the Northern Wilderness (1989); and many more.
The second recipient of The WILD Writing Award, presented in April 2007) is Bittu Sahgal of Mumbai, India. Bittu is founder and president of Sanctuary Asia, a tireless, life-long advocate for respecting and protecting wild nature and right human relations…and, of course, a superb writer and communicator.
