Rachel Carson Prize
The Rachel Carson Prize is an international environmental protection prize that has been awarded since 1991. It bears its name in honor of the American biologist and non-fiction author Rachel Carson , who sparked a worldwide debate about the use of DDT with her book Der Stumme Frühling in 1962 and had a decisive influence on the American environmental movement.
The prize is awarded every two years and consists of money and the award of a sculpture in the form of a cormorant, which was created by the sculptor Irma Bruun Hodne .
