What is EIF ?
The Environmental Investigative Forum (EIF) project expands in three main areas of activity: networking, reporting and developing our own investigative environmental journalism resources and services on a global scale. EIF started as an informal network experiment initiated by Alexandre Brutelle, Kristov Horvath and Tsvetelina Tomova in late 2020. After achieving various milestones, EIF has now connected over a hundred environmental investigative journalists and experts and 6 regional investigative units within its consortium.
Enhancing cross-regional collaboration
EIF has taken a step forward by developing a cross-regional link between various IJ hubs worldwide.
To avoid alliances and enclosing ourselves and our partners, none of these partners are for-profit medias, but rather non-profit investigative units with demonstrated expertise in their respective fields, as well as a strong will to uncover environmental crime.
Each of these hubs are offered a sit in our advisory board, aiming to coordinate future cross-regional projects, share and develop new investigative techniques, sustainable data tools, training material and more.
