Meet the world's best new environment bloggers

Posted on 7 June 2013 by dana1981

Miss the New York Times environment blogs and reporting?  Then check out the new Guardian environment blogs whose new page is being officially unveiled today.  Also check out my Climate Consensus – the 97% blog post for today, More pieces of the global warming puzzle assembled by recent research.

Meet the world's best new environment bloggers

Today we're lifting the curtain on our new family of environment bloggers. From Shanghai to New York, Melbourne to Bangalore and Lima to Nairobi, our 10 new blogs will open a global window onto stories about wildlife, climate change, pollution, food, water, deforestation, activism, and more.

Inspired in part by the Guardian's stable of science blogs, our environment bloggers will have independence to publish without our editorial interference. Being on the ground, and experts in their field, I believe they'll deepen and enrich our coverage, rather than replacing our traditional journalism.

This week, for example, the team have written on under-reported but important stories, such as Kenya experiencing its bloodiest week yet for rhino poaching deaths, China switching on part of its mega south-to-north water diversion project for testing, and how rhetoric against windfarms in Australia is 'spinning out of control.'

You can keep up with the bloggers' latest posts on their team homepage, on their individual blogs, or on Twitter via this list. We'd like to know what specific stories you think they should be digging into – either post in the thread below, or tweet with the hashtag #tellgeb.

I'm very proud of the team – assembled from over 800 applications for the positions, many of whom were also impressive, making the judging very tough – and hope you'll agree they bring a truly global dimension to our environmental journalism.
