EJN has formed a partnership with the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to launch the Biodiversity Media Alliance (BMA) this year. This alliance was created to provide a resource to help journalists’ reporting on the world’s biodiversity, what its decline means for humanity, and how it can be tackled.

So far, over 700 biodiversity experts joined the BMA’s online network, http://biodiversitymedia.ning.com/, which is designed to build bridges between journalists and information sources.
