IECA’s Role in the Media

Because IECA is a non-profit educational organization rather than an advocacy group, we give the media unbiased and impartial information so they can present all the facts to their readership. We have quick access to a wide range of current, sound scientific and policy information addressing a variety of issues. We can also connect media representatives with top leaders in the field of erosion.
