Welcome to Eco News Africa

As your trusted source for daily environmental news across the continent, we’re committed to bringing you clear, accurate, and timely updates on the ecological issues shaping Africa’s future.

- Climate change and its regional effects

About the Creator
I’m Oliver Jamison, a Cape Town-based environmental journalist and lifelong advocate for Africa’s natural heritage. After years reporting on ecological issues across the continent, I saw a gap: while global environmental news was widely covered, Africa’s nuanced, local stories often went unheard. That’s why I founded Eco News Africa—to give these vital narratives the platform they deserve.
Why This Website Exists
Eco News Africa was born from a simple question: Why should Africans be left out of the global conversation about their own environment? Too often, stories about Africa’s ecosystems are told by outsiders, without context or community voice. We exist to change that. We work with local journalists, scientists, and activists to ensure every story is grounded in truth, respect, and urgency.
Our Values and Approach
We believe in integrity over clicks. Every article is fact-checked, sourced responsibly, and written with care. We avoid sensationalism, prioritize underreported regions, and highlight solutions alongside challenges. Our goal isn’t to alarm—but to empower. We want our readers to feel informed, inspired, and ready to act.
