Babita Deokaran – Author Spotlight on Eco News Africa

When you explore articles by Babita Deokaran, a seasoned reporter for Eco News Africa who covers politics, sports and environmental issues across the continent. Also known as B. Deokaran, she blends on‑the‑ground reporting with clear, actionable analysis.

Her stories appear on Eco News Africa, the daily hub for African ecological and sustainability news, a platform that reaches policymakers, activists and ordinary readers alike. In the realm of African journalism, the practice of reporting on the continent’s diverse cultures, economies and challenges, Babita stands out for mixing hard data with human stories, whether she’s profiling a new green‑energy project or summarising a football match that has political undertones.

Two core beats shape her work: environmental reporting, coverage that tracks climate policy, wildlife conservation and community‑level sustainability initiatives, and sports journalism, features that connect athletes, fans and social change across Africa’s stadiums and streets. The first beat demands familiarity with scientific metrics – carbon emissions, water usage, biodiversity indexes – while the second often calls for quick‑turn match analysis, player interviews and a sense of how sport reflects broader societal trends.

Each story follows a simple flow: a clear hook, essential facts, and a takeaway that helps readers act or understand the bigger picture.
