“One year since the arrival of the pandemic in the Amazon, the situation has become dramatic for Indigenous peoples and traditional communities. The region has also become the focus of coronavirus mutations, exposing populations and the environment to even worse risks.
[…]
In response to the severe impact of the pandemic, the Amazonia Rainforest Journalism Fund (RJF) and the Pulitzer Center are opening a new call for proposals for journalism grants to cover stories about the region in the times of a pandemic.
Journalists, editors, and independent media organizations are invited to submit their proposals. Stories involving collaborative reporting, or including local and/or indigenous journalists facing travel restrictions and health risks imposed by the pandemic, will also be encouraged. Letters of commitment will be required from relevant media outlets that will publish the stories.”
