The ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB), Youth Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative, Silliman University Research and Environment News Service, and Philippine Eagle Foundation invite young journalists and communication officers based in the Visayas and Mindanao to apply as participants of Biodiversity Reporting 101.
Biodiversity Reporting 101 is an attempt to increase media interest in biological diversity. The project recognizes the crucial role of the mass media in making biodiversity a part of laymen’s everyday life.
The seminar-workshop aims to provide media practitioners with relevant information, key messages, and inputs related to biodiversity conservation in the ASEAN region.
The seminar-workshop series is a collaborative effort of the ACB, Silliman University Research and Environment News Service, and Philippine Eagle Foundation.
