Support Captain Forest
Take us from a rowboat to a ship made for crossing the sea!
We need your support to maintain Captain Forest alive and grow.
Captain Forest is an environmental and decolonial media that spreads alternative narratives of the environmental crisis.
Captain Forest started in 2022 as an environmental media focused on the plastic, waste, and agriculture sectors. We have interviewed 50+ experts around the world and published 60+ articles that are freely available to the public.
Yet, the genocide in Gaza was an inflection point that shaped the Captain Forest project. Now we are focused on the decolonial ecology lens, as we believe the environmental crisis has colonial roots that must be tackled to achieve justice.
Since its inception, Captain Forest has been self-funded. However, today we aim to scale our media and need financial support to hire freelancers: in-house journalists, photographers, web developers, marketing specialists, etc.
We need funding to keep the platform alive and grow it.
If you also believe that independent reporting on environmental and decolonial topics is important, support us!
Your participation—whatever amount—will make a huge difference!

"Captain Forest is not just the forest above water but below water. And like both forest, they reach tall up toward the sky or their roots weave deep and interconnnect. Captain Forest brings these connections to light, reminding us that all that we do has impact and is far more connected than we realised. A passionate and warm voice in a sea of hard cold data is much needed".
