Informations en français

Le Rainforest Journalism Fund vise à appuyer et à renforcer les capacités des journalistes locaux, régionaux et internationaux qui couvrent les questions liées aux forêts tropicales humides. L'une des trois régions de forêt tropicale humide ciblée est le bassin du Congo, qui s'étend sur plusieurs pays, à savoir, la République Démocratique du Congo, la République du Congo, la République centrafricaine, le Cameroun, la Guinée équatoriale et le Gabon.

Les membres du comité consultatif du RJF du Bassin du Congo examinent les propositions de projets de reportages locaux et régionaux axés sur les forêts tropicales humides dans la grande région et fournissent des orientations indépendantes à cet égard. Le comité contribue également à l'organisation de rencontres annuelles pour les journalistes qui couvrent l'actualité du Bassin du Congo.
