The Biodiversity Foundation has been awarded, among other entities, with the Via Apia award for information transparency 2009, granted by the Association of Environmental Information Journalists (APIA) to those companies and entities that support the specialization of young environmental journalists.

Together with the Biodiversity Foundation, the EFE Foundation, Tetra Pak, REE, FIDA, Unión FENOSA and Ecovidrio have been awarded. All these entities have launched different scholarship programs, which are committed to the specialization of journalists to train critical and honest professionals.

So far, more than fifty young journalists have already benefited from the different training programs promoted with the collaboration of APIA.

The Appian Way for information transparency and the Stations of the Cross awards for opacity are awarded each year by vote of the members of APIA, a professional group made up of more than 170 specialized informants from the written press, agencies, radio, television, communication offices and online media.
