"The story of our environment may well be the most important story of the coming century."

Eric Newton, Vice-President, Journalism Program, Knight Foundation

"Environmental journalists in Indonesia and other developing countries are often quite isolated. They operate with few resources and face enormous pressures from vested interests, from advertisers, even from their own editors. So professional organizations like the SIEJ can provide crucial technical, financial and moral support."

James Fahn, Executive Director Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN)
