Selected organizations will receive grants ranging between €10,000 and €12,000 to support the implementation of their journalism projects. The funding can be used for reporting costs, project coordination, training activities, multimedia production, and other expenses required to produce high-quality biodiversity stories.

Beyond financial support, the program also aims to strengthen environmental journalism by supporting projects that build the skills and networks of journalists covering conservation issues. These grants help media organizations produce deeper investigative coverage, promote collaboration among journalists, and expand public understanding of biodiversity challenges and solutions. 

This opportunity is open to media organizations, journalist networks, civil society organizations, and academic institutions that focus on journalism or media development. Applicants must be based in countries classified by the World Bank as low- or middle-income economies, meaning many countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and parts of Eastern Europe are eligible to participate.

Applicants should demonstrate a clear plan for producing impactful journalism projects that increase public awareness about biodiversity threats and conservation solutions. Proposals may include collaborative investigations, multimedia reporting series, or initiatives that build the capacity of journalists to report on environmental issues.

Projects that emphasize biodiversity-rich regions or countries experiencing significant biodiversity loss are especially encouraged. Applications must be submitted in English, and proposals rooted in political advocacy or campaigning will not be considered.
