The Pulitzer Center invites journalists reporting on #TropicalRainforests to apply for #grants ranging from $15,000 to $5,000. The grant will cover international travel costs associated with #reporting projects on tropical rainforests, with an emphasis on issues that have gone un- or under-reported in mainstream American news outlets. Proposed projects must include a credible plan for broad dissemination of the resulting work in media (print, online and/or broadcast). https://rainforestjournalismfund.org/grants/global-audience-rainforest-journalism-fund-grants
