Applications are now open for the Dataphyte Biodiversity Reporting Fellowship 2025!

Are you a Nigerian journalist passionate about telling impactful environmental stories? This fellowship offers a unique opportunity to deepen your skills in data-driven reporting, with a special focus on biodiversity. From deforestation to species extinction, and from sustainable land use to the unintended consequences of certain conservation measures—this program equips you to explore it all through compelling, evidence-based journalism.

With Nigeria’s ecosystems facing increasing pressure from harmful land-use practices and climate-related threats, there’s an urgent demand for storytelling that places biodiversity at the core of national and global environmental discussions. The fellowship seeks to empower journalists to lead this charge by producing high-impact reports that shed light on biodiversity loss, conservation challenges, and nature-based solutions that work.

Selected fellows will benefit from expert-led training sessions, a reporting stipend, editorial guidance, and access to exclusive biodiversity datasets and a comprehensive reporting toolkit. The program aims to support the creation of powerful stories that expose threats to biodiversity across Nigeria’s ecological hotspots and amplify voices for change.

Only ten journalists will be chosen for this prestigious opportunity, so don’t miss your chance to be part of a new generation of environmental storytellers.
