The Earth Journalism Network is offering up to €12,000 grants to media organizations to support projects that strengthen media reporting on biodiversity issues.
.
At both COP16 held in Cali, Colombia and COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan last year, biodiversity and climate experts urged accelerated action to protect biodiversity and halt the climate crisis.
.
Even as the science and negotiations at these global summits recognized that biodiversity loss and climate change are interconnected and mutually reinforcing, climate action receives more funding and media coverage, while conservation, and biodiversity stories are pushed to the sidelines.
.
The window to achieve the 30×30 target, and other goals listed in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework is fast closing.
.
Overlooking the importance of biodiversity is of dire consequence for humankind—it provides important resources and also enhances the planet’s resilience, including disaster-risk reduction and mitigation.
.
To ensure the public has a clearer understanding of what’s at stake—and the solutions that policymakers and the private sector could implement to curb this crisis, EJN’s Biodiversity Media Initiative is offering 3-4 media grants to increase the quality and quantity of biodiversity stories and build the capacity of journalists to improve their coverage of biodiversity issues, and draw attention to their linkages with climate and health.

Funding Information
- They anticipate supporting 3-4 organizations with grants of 10,000-12,000 EUR each. In general, proposals with smaller budgets will be more competitive. Larger grant amounts will be considered for projects that use innovative approaches and may be more resource- and time-consuming.
- They expect to notify successful applicants in April 2025, with work starting in May 2025. Projects should be completed within 12 months, by the end of April 2026.
Eligibility:
- Media organizations in countries classified as either low- or middle-income by the World Bank are eligible to apply for this opportunity.
- They are especially interested in supporting projects in biodiversity-rich regions of the world, or projects in countries facing unprecedented biodiversity loss.
- This opportunity is open to journalist networks, media organizations, civil society organizations or academic institutions. Although they will consider applications by NGOs or environmental groups looking to build the capacity of journalists to cover conservation issues, preference will be given to applications from or affiliated with professional journalists, media organizations and journalism schools.
