Uncovering corruption: The role of investigative journalism in combatting environmental crime and prompting accountability

Investigative journalists are often the first to uncover corruption in locations with limited enforcement or low rule of law. This is particularly true in environmental sectors that tend to be low priorities for law enforcement and governments. This presentation deck is from a TNRC Virtual Panel on 11 March 2021 with two journalists and an investigator who specialize in uncovering environmental crime and corruption. Insights were shared on their roles, their techniques, and how they engage with conservation practitioners.
