Solutions Desk

One of the foremost challenges facing efforts to address environmental challenges is understanding the effectiveness of strategies and interventions for achieving their intended outcomes. Solutions journalism focuses attention on what is being done to solve these complex problems, surfaces evidence of results achieved, and generates valuable insights on shortcomings so that groups facing similar challenges can learn lessons from experiences and improve their outcomes. Mongabay’s Solutions Desk does just that. It explores how people are working to address environmental problems and reveal insights into the effectiveness of practices in various operating contexts. Scrutinizing the results of a specific solution can reveal how others can adopt positive practices and avoid repeating costly mistakes.
