Erik is an editor for the huge environmental news site Mongabay, which has 5 bureaus around the world reporting in 6 languages daily.
He also produces their podcasts, available in English, Spanish and now French too.

But Mongabay reporters show up, even though they wish we didn’t: “Our presence at these meetings is not really welcomed, and that’s a problem,” a staff writer said
