\n<\/strong>The Y. Eva Tan Conservation<\/a> Reporting Fellowship Program builds on Mongabay\u2019s long-running internship program, which has helped bolster the capacity of environmental journalists in a field where such experience can be hard to acquire. Since 2008, the program has provided training<\/a> and first-hand reporting experience for dozens of budding journalists in more than a dozen countries. Mongabay interns have gone on to establish careers as professional journalists, communications professionals at scientific institutions and conservation<\/a> NGOs, and at Mongabay itself.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Eva is passionate about equality for all human beings, and conservation of natural habitats, not only fauna but also flora. She is particularly sensitive to creating opportunities for all, irrespective of national origin, ethnicity and ability.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/mongabay.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/rhett_rfi_interview180.jpeg\")
