Environmental journalism with purpose and impact
At EcoWatch, we believe that informed citizens can drive positive environmental change. Our mission is to empower readers with accurate, accessible, and actionable information about the most pressing environmental issues of our time.
We are committed to rigorous journalism that illuminates solutions, celebrates progress, and holds power to account. Through our reporting, we aim to inspire and equip individuals, communities, and decision-makers to protect our shared planet.
EcoWatch was founded in 2010 by a group of environmental journalists and scientists who recognized the need for dedicated, in-depth coverage of environmental issues that were often overlooked or oversimplified by mainstream media.
What began as a small blog has grown into a trusted source of environmental news and analysis, reaching millions of readers worldwide. Throughout our journey, we have remained independent and committed to our founding principles of accuracy, integrity, and impact.
Today, EcoWatch operates as a non-profit organization, allowing us to focus on our mission rather than commercial interests. We collaborate with scientists, policy experts, community leaders, and other journalists to deliver comprehensive coverage of the environmental challenges and opportunities shaping our world.
We verify facts, consult experts, and correct errors promptly to ensure our reporting is trustworthy and reliable.
We maintain editorial independence and transparency about our funding sources and potential conflicts of interest.
We amplify diverse voices and perspectives, recognizing that environmental issues affect different communities in different ways.
While reporting on environmental problems, we also highlight innovative solutions and success stories that inspire action.
Our dedicated team brings together expertise in journalism, environmental science, and digital media to deliver high-quality environmental reporting.
