Virtual Media Workshop on Covering Great Apes and One Health in Africa

Virtual Media Workshop on Covering Great Apes and One Health in Africa

#image_title

Deadline: 26-Feb-25

The Earth Journalism Network is hosting a virtual media workshop in early May for environmental journalists in range countries in Africa seeking to report on the threats faced by great apes, particularly the impact of disease and other health considerations, as well as conservation strategies to protect these species and their habitats.

All great ape species—gorilla, chimpanzee, bonobo and orangutan—are Endangered or Critically Endangered, while nearly all gibbon species are at risk of extinction. Despite targeted conservation efforts, great apes in Africa and Asia continue to face grave threats: disease driven by habitat fragmentation and crowding, human-animal conflict and the wildlife trade, both legal and illegal. The risk of zoonotic spillover due to human and great apes coming into closer contact is also increasing.

As part of EJN’s new project, Empowering Media for the Conservation of Great Apes in Africa, they are pleased to announce a virtual media workshop for journalists in African range countries seeking to deepen their knowledge of the threats faced by great apes (in the wild and in captivity), and the conservation solutions that must be scaled to safeguard animal, human and environmental health in the years to come.
