Dom Philips, Bruno Periera, Mukesh Chandrakar, Chhoeung Chheng- these are just a few environmental journalists among many, slain for exactly that- environmental journalism. Mongabay's own Gerald Flynn recently faced a Visa ban and blacklisting in Cambodia, for reporting on illegal logging. UNESCO's World Press Freedom Day report from 2024 reveals that 70% of environment journalists have faced attacks for their work.
Happy International Press Freedom Day. Cartoon for Mongabay.
And still you are here stand strong footed always illustrating fearlessly. So proud of you!
