Green Media Mavens: Unveiling the Global Champions of Environmental Storytelling

The dangerous world of environmental journalism continues to claim lives and silence voices. Names like Dom Philips, Bruno Pereira, Mukesh Chandrakar, and Chhoeung Chheng represent more than just statistics—they are brave journalists who paid the ultimate price while exposing critical environmental stories.
The risks faced by environmental reporters have never been more stark. In a recent alarming development, Mongabay journalist Gerald Flynn experienced firsthand the potential consequences of investigative reporting. On January 5th, 2025, Flynn was abruptly barred from Cambodia, despite possessing a valid visa and work permit. His deportation appears to be a calculated act of retaliation, sending a chilling message to journalists who dare to uncover uncomfortable truths about environmental challenges.
These incidents underscore the growing threats faced by journalists committed to reporting on environmental issues, highlighting the urgent need to protect press freedom and the critical work of those who shine a light on environmental injustices.
