With a stipend of $3,000 USD : Join The Y. Eva Tan Conservation Reporting Fellowship – Remote 

The Y. Eva Tan Conservation Reporting Fellowship Program builds upon Mongabay's long-established internship initiative, which has enhanced the skills of environmental journalists in a field where hands-on experience can be rare. Since 2008, this program has provided valuable training and practical reporting experience to numerous aspiring journalists across more than a dozen countries. Many former Mongabay interns have gone on to pursue careers as professional journalists, communications experts at scientific institutions and conservation organizations, or have continued their work with Mongabay.

The Y. Eva Tan Conservation Reporting Fellowship Program will support up to 12 fellows annually—six at the global English bureau and six at the Spanish-language bureau, Mongabay-Latam (please refer to specific details and application periods for each language program as they may differ).

Fellows will gain important experience working with a variety of editors at an international news outlet, hone their environmental reporting skills, and create a portfolio of original stories that will help advance their journalism careers.

About Y. Eva Tan:
Eva Tan is deeply committed to equality for all people and the conservation of natural habitats, including both wildlife and plant life. She is particularly dedicated to providing opportunities to all individuals, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or ability.
