Biodiversity Reporting Toolkit for Nigerian Journalists and Newsrooms

The Biodiversity Reporting Toolkit is a practical guide designed to support journalists in producing accurate, data-driven, and impactful stories on biodiversity and environmental issues in Nigeria. It responds to a growing need for journalism that not only reports environmental events, but rigorously investigates the systems, policies, and human activities driving biodiversity loss.

Across Nigeria, biodiversity-related issues, such as deforestation, habitat destruction, pollution, wildlife depletion, and climate-induced ecosystem stress, are often underreported or framed narrowly as isolated incidents. This toolkit bridges that gap by equipping journalists with the tools, frameworks, and real-world examples needed to report biodiversity as a public interest and accountability issue.
