Colombia holds 10% of the world's biodiversity, yet loses 200,000 hectares of forest yearly. Millions lack access to reliable environmental science. Without information, there is no action. BIBO is El Espectador's environmental journalism initiative. Colombia's oldest newspaper, founded in 1887. For 15 years we have turned complex science into free stories about climate, biodiversity, and water for 2.5 million readers. Your donation keeps this information free and independent.
Colombia holds 1 in 10 of the world's known species, yet faces accelerating biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation, and climate change impacts that threaten wildlife, water security, and millions of people's livelihoods. Environmental misinformation makes it harder for citizens to access reliable science. Independent journalism is essential to translate complex environmental knowledge into information people can act on.
BIBO produces environmental journalism, campaigns, videos, and educational content that makes complex science accessible to everyone. We connect citizens, scientists, and decision-makers through rigorous, evidence-based storytelling, showing people how environmental challenges affect their daily lives and how they can become part of the solution. Since 2009: 1,200+ verified stories, 2.5 million monthly readers, 136,700 followers. All free.
With your support, BIBO aims to double its reach by 2028: 5 million monthly readers, 200+ verified environmental stories per year, and expanded education and awareness efforts across Colombia focused on biodiversity, climate change, and ecosystem conservation. Our long-term goal is a more informed, engaged, and environmentally conscious society - because informed citizens understand what is at stake, and empowered citizens protect the planet.
