About Pulitzer Center Rainforest Reporting Grant
Pulitzer Center rainforest reporting supports and builds capacity for quality, independent journalism in three key regions: the Amazon, the Congo Basin, and Southeast Asia. The new Rainforest Reporting Grant is 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.
