English translation of interview in WWF Magasin:
An amazing day has come to an end. Today we were awarded the "Panda book of the Year" award by His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and the World Wildlife Fund at the Ulriksdal Castle outside Stockholm, Sweden. We did a lecture about our work and the book and met almost too many great people. And to top it all of we had lunch with the King, who turned out to be an amazing person. "The Environmental heroes" of the year were also awarded: Greta Thunberg (represented by Fridays for future), Pella Thiel and Magnus Carlsson.
