As the products that most people use and consume every day (food, clothing, shelter, transportation, communication) leave an ecological trail across global supply chains. There is a critical need for greater transparency, particularly within transnational natural resource industries such as agribusiness and extractives, as a lack of access to accurate and information hinders action to address increasing levels of environmental stress and social injustice.</p><h3>Eligibility:</h3><ul><li>Proposals from experienced journalists and small cross-border teams of journalists and researchers with story-specific expertise for reported articles, or for investigative series, focusing on a particular region, commodity, company, or theme within the remit of the reporting project.&nbsp;</li><li>Strong pitches involving creative uses of multimedia, open-source intelligence, video and/or data analysis and visualization will be given priority.</li><li>Consider proposals for fully edited and produced videos of up to 10 minutes in length.&nbsp;</li><li>Opinion pieces and conventional news reporting will not be considered.</li><li>Completed stories will be published in English on <a href="http://mongabay.com/">Mongabay.com</a> under an open <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/copyright/creative-commons-by-nc-nd/">Creative</a><a href="https://news.mongabay.com/copyright/creative-commons-by-nc-nd/">&nbsp;Commons license</a> that allows for sharing and re-posting.&nbsp;</li><li>They could potentially be translated into another language and published by Mongabay.</li></ul><h3>Benefits:</h3><p>Mongabay will negotiate all fees and contracts on a per-project basis</p><h3>Required Documents:</h3><ul><li>Applicants must submit a pitch That includes:</li></ul><ol><li>Several potential stories published writing samples.</li><li>Ideas on third-party media outlets that might accept stories that would result from the project.</li><li>Pitches should be detailed, thoughtful, and about 500 words in length.</li><li>Your pitch should clearly explain the specific subject you would like to write about, your approach to covering it.</li><li>And describe a few potential sources.</li></ol><ul><li>Your resume.</li><li>Three clips.</li><li>An itemized budget estimate of any travel expenses needed to complete the project.</li></ul><h3>About:</h3><p>Mongabay is a web site that publishes news on environmental science, energy, and green design, and features extensive information on tropical rainforests, also deforestation statistics for countries of the world.
