EcoWatch history

Our Story

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.
