Brazil’s Rondnia state is home to rainforests and at least three different native groups. The area has also faced serious problems like deforestation. So when Brazilian reporter Gustavo Faleiros learned of an illegal attempt to take land away from a huge protected area in the state, he used his reporting skills to bring attention to it. The Uru-eu-wau-wau Indigenous Reserve in Rondnia is spread over 18,000 square kilometers. It holds land used by many of Brazil’s native or indigenous people. "When I did the stories about the invasion of indigenous land, I felt it was really contributing to bring attention to that specific place,” Faleiros said. A grant from the Pulitzer Center’s Rainforest Journalism Fund (RJF) permitted Faleiros to travel to Rondnia and report. The Pulitzer Center is an organization that gives financial support to journalists around the world. Faleiros’ work was included in an RJF investigation into threats to the environment and indigenous communities in Latin America. Faleiros now runs the Pulitzer's Rainforest Investigations Network. Reporters from several countries in the network work together to investigate issues like climate change and corruption. The Pulitzer Center started RJF in 2018 to aid reporting on the Amazon Basin, the Congo Basin and Southeast Asia. The center plans to produce 200 environmental journalism stories through the RJF by 2023. Nora Moraga-Lewy is the manager of the RJF. She said her group gives journalists the chance to report on stories that would not be written without its help. In addition to financial support, reporters are given training and access to a network of other journalists
