As newsrooms and news media operate mainly nationally, most societal and environmental problems and power structures exceed national boundaries. Therefore, this grant aimed at cross-border teams of investigative journalists and newsrooms to research and document unreported, illegal, and unregulated abuse of nature that involves European affairs in and outside Europe.

Besides investigations of environmental issues that transcend borders, this fund also supports comparative investigations into local ecological matters and policies between two or more regions or cities. Additionally, the grants support preliminary work in developing new investigative projects.
