Journalists working in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru may apply for this opportunity.
As part of the Conservando Juntos project, CONNECTAS launches a call for applications for the production grant focused on stories about environmental crimes in the Amazon region.
Organizers are looking for revealing and innovative stories that shed light on crimes affecting the Amazon and its communities, and/or propose potential solutions. Special consideration will be given to proposals demonstrating prior investigation and expertise on the subject. Projects with a strong investigative component and social impact will also be valued.
Selected journalists will receive editorial support and up to US$2,000 to cover production costs. The resulting work will be published on CONNECTAS and allied media.
The deadline is Dec. 1.
