Veteran foreign correspondent Edward Girardet is spearheading a three-year initiative to highlight the environmental and cultural challenges facing the Mediterranean Sea. As co-founder of Help Save The Med, Girardet believes storytelling is a crucial tool alongside scientific research and diplomatic efforts for conservation. The project, known as WIKI (World Initiative…), will involve a voyage across the Mediterranean, documenting and sharing narratives of decline and potential solutions. The aim is to raise public awareness about the sea’s deteriorating condition and inspire action. Girardet’s approach emphasizes the power of human stories to connect people to the issues and foster a sense of responsibility. The initiative seeks to combine journalism with conservation, offering a unique perspective on the Mediterranean’s plight.
