Journalists drawn from various Media Houses are today May 16, 2023, participating in Earth Observation and Forest Monitoring workshop to, among other things, equip them with an interest in geo-journalism skills to deliver spatial products and thematic information in a condensed, easily understandable format addressing the appropriate level for broad societal uptake.
