Pierce is going to receive a special Golden Camera award, the "Green Camera", a newly created award for achievements in environmental protection.
Translation of a press release:
On a Mission to save the World's Oceans
A special Golden Camera Award goes to Pierce Brosnan
Parallel to his successful careers as an actor in international blockbusters such as the four James Bond films, "Around the World in 80 Days" or "Dante's Peak", as well as a producer in his own company "Irish DreamTime", Pierce Brosnan has worked with charity organisations such as UNICEF; but most of all he has given his name and support to various environmental organisations.
(Award show will air on February 1, 2007)
It is with great personal commitment that Mr Brosnan fights for the conservation of the oceans and the coastal wetlands, supporting among others the Natural Resources Defense Council. He also campaigns against air and water pollution. He sees in his world fame a natural responsibility not only to act as a role model in public life, but also to put himself and his name behind a good cause.
Committed activist
Pierce Brosnan has become a comitted activist in international environmentalism--not least to secure for his children's future a safe and life-friendly environment. His wife Keely Shaye, who he met during an environmental event in Mexico City[sic], continues to help him realise the various projects and campaigns.
