It is an effort to make visible the impact that charitable donations to the zoo have, in the hope that transparency will encourage giving, and ultimately improve tree survival rates. Each one will come with its own QR code, photographic record, and geolocation tag. In January, the zoo will plant 3,000 trees around Ranomafana National Park in southeastern Madagascar. To do this, the trees must not only be rooted in the earth but live in the cloud. Specifically, he wants to help donors to Seneca Park Zoo in New York, where he works, “see” the trees that their donations help plant, even if they are thousands of miles away. ROCHESTER, New York and RANOMAFANA NATIONAL PARK, Madagascar - Tom Snyder wants to change the way people see trees. But they also recognize the importance of bringing local communities on board to improve the effectiveness of these efforts, and the need for old-fashioned field surveys to complement the high-tech monitoring methods.Now, some groups are embracing cutting-edge technology solutions such as QR codes, drone surveillance and blockchain to keep tabs on every tree planted.Governments and organizations around the world have carried out massive tree-planting initiatives, but to date there’s been no reliable way to track how effective these programs have been. We’re particularly looking for agriculture and environment reporters who want to produce a climate solution story about community-based food systems and have previously produced at least two relevant stories. Through this, grantees will be able to produce vetted climate solutions stories that will be added to the Solutions Journalism Story Tracker and to Climate Tracker’s website, as well as talk about the story they produced through a webinar.Online consultations throughout the story production process with Mavic Conde, who is currently one of the 2022 LEDE Fellows at the Solutions Journalism Network.Reference materials about Solutions Journalism: Its four pillars and actual (agriculture/food systems/climate) story samples.A lecture on Solutions Journalism 101 with Portia Ladrido, co-founder of Inkline, a UK-based solutions-oriented news site.Climate reporting training from Climate Tracker.If you’d like to create a photo essay, mini-documentary, radio/podcast script etc, then this one’s definitely for you. What’s best is that we’re not only looking for print journalists. In collaboration with the Solutions Journalism Network and in support of our alum fellow and current 2022 LEDE Fellow – Mavic Conde – we’re excited to open this call for applications to win a Solutions Reporting Grant, with emphasis on stories related to agriculture and farmer-led sustainable agricultural practices, food systems, and land rights. We also recognise that this challenge is often greatest in the countries hardest hit by climate change. We believe in the power of journalism, but recognise that many young journalists don’t have the training, resources or support to identify and tell the climate stories they want to. Climate Tracker (CT) is an international non-profit organization, aiming to support, train and incentivise better climate journalism globally.
