Deadline: 15 October, 2021
Earth Journalism Network (EJN) has opened applications for the 2021 Biodiversity Media Grants.
The grants are aimed at improving media coverage of biodiversity and conservation issues in countries where information is most under threat and most urgently needed.
Many of the threats currently facing global biodiversity have been exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Funding for critical conservation and ecotourism projects has been redirected or lost as economic growth has been prioritised over protecting wild spaces, and media coverage of the outbreak has dwarfed reporting on conservation.
EJN says it is especially interested in projects that focus on conservation in biodiversity-rich regions of the world.
Benefits
- U.S.$64,000 would ideally be shared among four to five projects
Eligibility
- This opportunity is open to journalist networks, media organisations, civil society organisations or academic institutions
- Applicants should note their affiliations with existing media organisations or provide detailed plans about how this project would facilitate the creation of a new network or organisation
