ABOUT THE RAINFOREST JOURNALISM FUND

Over five years, the Pulitzer Center Rainforest Journalism Fund supported over 300 projects and 600 journalists who produced 1,700 reports. Real-world impact includes sanction against corporate mining activities, a policy revision on a government agriculture program in Indonesia, and international attention to widespread illegal wildlife trades.

The Rainforest Journalism Fund has evolved into the Pulitzer Center Rainforest Reporting Grant. The Rainforest Reporting Grant supports and builds capacity for quality, independent journalism in three key regions: the Amazon, the Congo Basin, and Southeast Asia.

Through the Rainforest Reporting grant, the Pulitzer Center continues to provide short-term project support to journalists reporting in rainforests, 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’s grantees and Fellows. The Rainforest Reporting grant is supported by the Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI).
