The award ceremony took place in the Museum of Communication in Frankfurt am Main. The award for one of the most important German nature conservation awards was accompanied by an expert dialogue on climate change.
In addition to his work as a TV presenter and fighter for species conservation, science journalist Dirk Steffens has been an honorary director of the International Nature Film Festival GREEN SCREEN since 2016.
