Mongabay calls for Special Reporting Project pitches

Mongabay Reporting Project

DEADLINE: ROLLING — Mongabay invites investigative journalists to submit pitches for the Covering the Commons Special Reporting Project (SRP).

SRP is a series of informative articles reporting on the status of global commons, which are critical for maintaining biodiversity, clean air and water, healthy land and oceans, and a stable climate.

The project will highlight approaches to protecting and preserving the global commons by moving humanity toward a sustainable relationship.

Mongabay seeks to utilize the concept of Planetary Boundaries (PBs), nine critical biosphere-sustaining systems, to explore how natural systems support the global commons and how humans risk passing dangerous tipping points.

Applications must be submitted in English. Stories must be published by September 30, 2021.

Pitches will be considered on a rolling basis until the budget is disbursed.
