About Us

Indonesia is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. At the same time, is also home to some of the richest ecosystems and natural resources in the world. As economic development increases, Indonesia must also find ways to address environmental challenges that are largely caused by poor urban planning and a development approach that pays little attention to impacts on the environment and society. These include the climate crisis, loss of biodiversity, poor waste management, air and ocean pollution, drought, depletion of water sources, and deforestation.

Ekuatorial, an Indonesia-based geojurnalism site that combines stories with map-based data visualization to provide a scientific context to narrative storytelling, by the Society of Indonesian Environmental Journalists (SIEJ) with the support of nternews’ Earth Journalism Network, an international non-profit organization that provides support for independent media and empowers journalists from developing countries to cover the environment more effectively.

Ekuatorial partners with correspondents, journalists, and SIEJ members across Indonesia to produce stories and articles that prioritize balance, multi-stakeholder perspectives, voices of marginalized groups, gender equality, and solutions.
