InfoAmazonia is a Brazilian nonprofit newsroom founded in 2012 to combine data journalism, maps, geojournalism, and in-depth reporting about the Amazon. Covering the nine countries that share the world’s largest continuous tropical rainforest, InfoAmazonia investigates social and environmental issues that reveal the global importance of Amazonian territories, communities, and ecosystems.

The organization works across three integrated areas: editorial production, collaborative journalism networks, and journalism education. Its reporting brings together fieldwork, open data, satellite imagery, geospatial analysis, interactive maps, multimedia storytelling, and public-interest technology to monitor issues such as deforestation, fires, mining, land conflicts, pollution, climate impacts, and threats to Indigenous and traditional communities.

Innovation is central to InfoAmazonia’s work — not only in the tools it develops and uses, but also in the way it produces, distributes, and collaborates on journalism. Through special projects, data platforms, cross-border investigations, and partnerships with local, regional, and international media outlets, InfoAmazonia connects technological experimentation with collaborative reporting. Its goal is to expand access to reliable information about the Amazon, strengthen journalism in the region, and create new ways for the public to understand complex environmental and social dynamics.
