WOP AWARD
BALTISTAN FUNDAZIOA
Saturday December 5 – 19:00 Euskalduna
The Baltistan Fundazioa Foundation, an NGO that supports international cooperation and works in the Pakistani Karakorum, will be distinguished with the 2020 WOP Award from BBK Mendi Film Bilbao-Bizkaia. Created by mountaineers, The Baltistan Fundazioa has been taking a committed look at that environment and its inhabitants for 20 years. The WOP Award recognises the defence of the values of mountaineering, and the Baltistan Fundazioa takes up the baton from illustrious figures such as Nives Meroi and Romano Benet (2019), Juanjo San Sebastian (2018), Peter Habeler (2017), Sir Chris Bonington (2016) and Josep Manuel Anglada (2015).
