In environmental conservation, a profound gap exists between the wealth of data detailing our world’s changing ecosystems and the actionable insights needed to protect them. This is where the newly launched Mongabay Data Studio comes in! The MDS bridges the divide between environmental science and action by developing impactful tools, creating insightful data journalism, and connecting a network of credible partners. By integrating environmental, social and satellite data from reputable sources, MDS aims to make complex information accessible and actionable. The Mongabay Data Studio offers the opportunity to: ☑ Engage in novel research to create scalable tools that activate and inform audiences. ☑ Empower journalists to integrate accurate sources of scientific data as context and evidence within their news narratives. ☑ Build a collaborative global network of partners and people to mobilize. The official launch of Mongabay Data Studio took place on Feb 20, 2024, a milestone event that brought together more than 50 guests, including journalists, conservationists, technologists, and supporters from a range of Spanish and international organizations. Several partners, like Trase - Intelligence for sustainable trade, Vizzuality and the World Resources Institute, have collaborated with Mongabay to build the existing tools. Others involved are the individuals behind our environmental data journalism including Mongabay’s global network of journalists and Vizzuality’s team of technologists, designers and scientists. Given Mongabay Data Studio’s early phase, the potential for impact is immense, but so is the need for support. If you are interested in helping sustain impactful data journalism, there are two excellent ways you can do so with Mongabay. First, consider donating, which directly helps us continue to build new functionality and onboard new partners for Mongabay Data Studio. Second, subscribe to Mongabay’s newsletter to get the latest environmental news from nature’s frontline delivered right to your inbox. Learn more about the MDS: https://lnkd.in/gZWYQEtf.

In Costa Rica’s Talamanca region, Indigenous Bribri women are championing sustainable agroforestry practices in a tradition that stretches back for millennia. Known as fincas integrales, it’s a system that mimics the diversity and productivity of the forest: timber trees provide shade for fruit trees, which in turn shelter medicinal plants, amid all of which livestock and even wildlife thrive. One of the few matrilineal societies in the world, the Bribri women are taking back their leadership after decades of decline and social problems in the community. Talamanca is also home to vast monoculture plantations of crops like bananas, a completely different farming system that relies on the heavy use of pesticides — a practice that the Bribri women say destroys the land.
