International conservation outlet Mongabay has launched a new Swahili platform to make environmental and climate reporting more accessible to over 200 million speakers globally.

• Mongabay, an environmental news publisher, is expanding its reach with a Swahili-language site.
• The platform aims to combat disinformation by providing credible, science-based journalism in local languages, as highlighted by Africa Director David Akana and Principal Secretary Stephen Isaboke.
• This initiative will simplify complex climate and environmental information for wider audiences, particularly vulnerable communities.
