The Rainforest Journalism Fund aims to support and build capacity of local, regional, and international journalists reporting on issues related to tropical rainforests. One of the three rainforest regions of focus is the Amazon Basin, spanning across the continent of South America. The Amazon RJF advisory committee is composed of leaders in journalism on issues relating to tropical rainforests. Founding members of this committee were the first to envision a fund to support rainforest journalism in the Amazon in a way that is informed by regional perspectives and deep understanding of the context. This vision served as inspiration for the further elaboration of the Rainforest Journalism Fund.
Members of the Amazon RJF advisory committee review and provide independent guidance for proposals for local and regional reporting projects focusing on tropical rainforests in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. The committee also helps to develop annual convenings for journalists reporting from and on the Amazon Basin. Current members of the Amazon RJF Advisory Committee are:
- Eliane Brum - Journalist & Author
- Daniela Chiaretti - Environment Correspondent, Valor Econômico
- Thomas Fischermann - Editor, Die ZEIT
- Camilo Jiménez Santofimio
- Nelly Luna Amancio - Founder & Editor, Ojo Público
- Simon Romero - Correspondent, The New York Times
- Jonathan Watts - Global Environment Editor, The Guardian
