Environmental journalists worldwide can apply for a US$20,000 grant to cover the next big idea for forest conservation.

Mongabay.org is launching a competitive grant for in-depth reporting on key environmental themes. The first opportunity under the Special Reporting Initiatives (SRI) program will deal with innovation in tropical biodiversity conservation.

The author of top proposal will receive US$15,000 as a stipend and up to US$5,000 for reporting and travel costs. The fellow will have three months for travel and research and three months for writing. He or she can work from anywhere in the world.
