2018 - THE WHITMAN BASSOW AWARD

Best reporting in any medium on international environmental issues

Abrahm Lustgarten
ProPublica and The New York Times Magazine
"Fuel to the Fire"

Judges: A profoundly reported work on multiple levels, “Fuel to the Fire” dissects a man-made ecological disaster: how a U.S. biofuels policy engineered mainly to serve corporate interests combined with Indonesian political corruption to devastate Southeast Asian forests and trigger a surge in carbon emissions. Abrahm Lustgarten embraces a complex issue, attacks its many dimensions head on, lucidly enlightens the reader, and offers the public a possible roadmap for action.
