2022 RIN Fellow Fernanda Wenzel Will Visit Davidson College

Fernanda Wenzel, a 2022 Rainforest Investigations Network Fellow, will visit Davidson College on September 23, 2024. She will speak in classes, meet with students, and deliver a keynote presentation.

In her Pulitzer Center-supported project Forest Thieves, Wenzel reported on how businesses, politicians, and public servants go about redrawing and razing public rainforest lands in Brazil for private use to sell them at an enormous profit. In addition to an animated informational video and written work, Wenzel also shared a rigorous research methodology.

Her work has been featured in The Intercept Brasil, Agência Pública, Repórter Brasil, Piauí, Valor Econômico, Folha de S.Paulo, CNN International, BBC Brasil, and Mongabay.
