A brand new collection, Underreported Earth: Tree Tales, attracts on investigative journalism to show threats going through a number of the world’s ignored forests within the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Brazil.
Available on YouTube, it explores how the tales have been uncovered and the affect the reporting has had. The present is hosted by The Guardian editor Tracy McVeigh, and options three Pulitzer Center-supported investigative reporters.
The episodes embody:
- Episode one: Elisângela Mendonça investigates how farming in Brazil’s rainforests is pushed not solely by the meat business but in addition by a rising international obsession with collagen.
- Episode two: Josephine Moulds reviews from the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the government’s fossil fuel drilling that threatens the very important Congo Basin rainforest.
- Episode three: Ana Bottallo explores Brazil’s mangrove forests and the affect of predatory fishing on these vital ecosystems.
The collection goals to underline the worth of investigative journalism in defending forests and biodiversity. Each story is designed to tell native communities and spark wider dialogue about what is going on on the bottom and why it issues.
The episodes have been livestreamed on Earthday.org’s YouTube, Facebook and X accounts final week.
