Environmental Reporting: A Talk on Gastro Colonialism. The Pulitzer Center’s Rainforest Journalism Fund (RJF) views scientific reporting as one of the most critical and valuable fields that enhances public understanding of rainforests and the environment. Scientific knowledge expands concepts, adds nuance, and strengthens rainforest reporting.
