About Pulitzer Center Rainforest Reporting Grant

The new Rainforest Reporting Grantis an evolution of the Rainforest Journalism Fund (RJF), which was launched in 2018. Over five years, RJF has supported more than 300 projects and 600 journalists who produced 1,700 reports. Their impacts range from: a sanction against corporate mining activities in DRC,  a policy revision on a government agriculture program in Indonesia, and international attention on widespread illegal wildlife trades. Read more about RJF’s background and achievements here.   

Through this grant, the Pulitzer Center continues to provide short-term project support to journalists reporting in tropical forests, but seeks more ambitious proposals: larger in scale, and collaborative and innovative in approaches. The initiative will continue to provide resources and capacity to journalists through selective training and networking opportunities with other Pulitzer Center grantees and Fellows.

The Rainforest Reporting Grant is supported by Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI).
