BBVA Foundation Biodiversity Conservation Awards
Foundation Awards for Biodiversity Conservation (BBVA)
The BBVA Foundation Awards for Biodiversity Conservation express the identity of the BBVA Foundation along with its commitment to the conservation of the environment. Their goal is to publicly recognize the work done by conservationist organizations, institutions and agencies in carrying forward environmental conservation policies and projects, and the efforts of communication professionals who have contributed to the protection of our natural heritage.
