Congratulations to our journalist-photographer team, Nicha Wachpanich and Peerapon Boonyakiat, for winning the Human Rights Media Award 2022 from Amnesty International Thailand.
Their story “The Mackerel Migration” is a powerful piece highlighting the importance of marine conservation and the impact of declining mackerel populations on Thailand’s food security. A group of marine conservationists and local fisherfolk travelled 1000km by boat for 14 days, using their journey to raise awareness about the need to protect aquatic life. The story is a testament to the power of storytelling to drive change and inspire action towards sustainable fishing practices.
