The Pulitzer Center’s Southeast Asia Rainforest Journalism Fund is now open to support costs associated with reporting projects on tropical rainforests, with an emphasis on issues that have gone unreported or under-reported in the local and regional media.

The supported journalism project will focus on the following themes:

• The tropical forests’ role in the overall climate equation and weather patterns globally, regionally and locally, and the resulting consequences for human life and living conditions (in broad terms) caused by deforestation.
• Deforestation drivers (in broad terms)
• Solutions to halt deforestation (in broad terms)

The amount of individual travel grants will depend on the specific project and detailed budget planning. Most awards fall in the range of $2,500 to $7,500 but depending on project specifics may be higher.
