Our webinar series for journalists in 2023 continues with How to Cover Environmental Defenders. This expert panel will answer questions related to the work of environmental defenders, the threats they face, and how journalists can report on their work effectively and safely. Reporting on the work of an environmental defender comes with ethical, legal, and safety considerations. We'll be discussing them during this 90-minute webinar.

This discussion will be broadcast live to Mongabay's YouTube Channel and LinkedIn account. We highly recommend following us on either platform.
