Voici un extrait d\u2019un article qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 envoy\u00e9 sur le fil PC vendredi apr\u00e8s-midi\u00a0:<\/p>\n
\u00ab\u00a0Dennis \u00e9tait un des rares journalistes dans ce pays d\u00e9vou\u00e9s \u00e0 temps plein \u00e0 la couverture de l’environnement \u00e0 un niveau national, et d\u00e9vou\u00e9 est un mot important\u00a0\u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 le r\u00e9dacteur en chef de la Presse Canadienne, Scott White. <\/p>\n
\u00ab\u00a0Il a \u00e9crit sur des sujets comme les changements climatiques bien avant que la plupart des gens n’entendent parler de cet enjeu. Dennis \u00e9tait un \u00e9cologiste \u00e0 l’ext\u00e9rieur du travail. Il se souciait beaucoup du Canada et du monde dans lequel nous vivons. Il \u00e9tait un journaliste s\u00e9rieux qui prenait son travail au s\u00e9rieux.\u00a0\u00bb <\/p>\n
N\u00e9 \u00e0 Moose Jaw, en Saskatchewan, M. Bueckert a \u00e9tudi\u00e9 le journalisme \u00e0 l’universit\u00e9 Carleton \u00e0 Ottawa.

Toutefois, l’environnement et les sciences \u00e9taient r\u00e9ellement son champ d’int\u00e9r\u00eat. D\u00e8s 1986, il \u00e9tait \u00e0 Tchernobyl pour couvrir l’explosion d’un r\u00e9acteur nucl\u00e9aire. <\/p>\n

Il a couvert des congr\u00e8s majeurs sur l\u2019environnement, tels que le Sommet de la Terre \u00e0 Rio en 1993 et un autre sur la population au Caire en 1994. Ses reportages sur les recherches dans le domaine des cellules souches ont servi \u00e0 amorcer le d\u00e9bat public \u00e0 ce sujet.
\nEn 1998, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 finaliste au prix Michener pour action m\u00e9ritoire de journalisme d’int\u00e9r\u00eat public pour son travail sur le scandale du sang contamin\u00e9 \u00e0 l’h\u00e9patite C. Il \u00e9tait souvent reconnu par son employeur pour la qualit\u00e9 de ses reportages.<\/p>\n
En 2005 et en 2006 il a servi sur le comit\u00e9 de s\u00e9lection pour le Prix Grantham, un prix de 75 000 $ qui reconna\u00eet le meilleur journaliste nord-am\u00e9ricain dans le domaine de l\u2019environnement.<\/p>\n
M. Russo dit que seul un grand journaliste avec des connaissances approfondies aurait pu \u00e9crire l\u2019histoire r\u00e9cent au sujet l\u2019effet du meurtre du millionaire Glen Davis sur les groupes environnementaux qui perdaient ainsi leur plus appui financier. C\u2019\u00e9tait le dernier article d\u2019envergure de M. Bueckert. Selon M. Russo, \u00ab\u00a0c\u2019\u00e9tait du journalisme important et r\u00e9v\u00e9lateur.\u00a0\u00bb<\/i><\/p>\n
