You cannot protect what you do not know.
This represents an evolutionary leap on the journey we began with in 2022, when we launched Sonda Internacional’s first website. We have come a long way, thanks to the members and sponsors who have donated to this small but mighty non-profit media organisation, specialising in in-depth visual journalism on the climate crisis
With your help, we will be able to show, through images, the causes and consequences of the climate crisis. We will explore the changes taking place across the landscape to better understand the impact of human activity on the world, and learn about the different solutions being developed to mitigate its effects. We will do this through the four natural element—water, earth, air, and fire—plus a fifth element that transcends them all: the passage of time.
Sonda Internacional’s new website will serve as a platform to disseminate open and free of charge information on the climate crisis. It is organised into different sections, each corresponding to one of the natural elements. Here we will publish and share our visual reports, expert interviews and visual talks where documentary photographers reveal the stories behind their work. In a new section called TIME, we will show the transformation of these territories by comparing old and recent photographs.
All this is brought to you by a team that has been working tirelessly for over two years to make Sonda International a reality. We have already developed the web platform. Now, we need your support to ensure the publication of the platform's first stories becomes a reality.
Help us ensure information about the climate crisis reaches a wider audience: seeing is believing, and believing is the first step to action.
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
We’re taking Sonda International to the next level in the third year of this adventure!
With your help, we’ll produce reports and visual talks that highlight the causes and consequences of the climate crisis through issues related to water, land, fire and air. In addition, we will produce a series of comparisons between old and current photographs to show how these areas have changed, in the TIME section.
We have the platform, the team, the experience and the information network. Now we need the capacity to produce the content: time for research, production costs for transport and accommodation, and post-production and editing costs. In-depth journalism is not financially viable, but it is essential that it exists.
If we reach our minimum funding target, we will be able to produce five essential pieces on the causes and consequences of the climate crisis, both on the Iberian Peninsula and in other countries, covering the themes of water, the air we breathe, land and fire. In addition, there will be at least 12 comparative pieces that directly and visually illustrate the transformation of different territories due to human activity: the retreat of glaciers, the evolution of forests, or the urbanisation of natural spaces, amongst others.
If we reach our target funding level, we will be able to double our output, ensuring content for a year and a half.
Help us achieve this! We must see to understand, and understand to act.
Remember that we are an NGO: we are funded by donations and all our publications are freely available on our website.
Why this is important
You can’t protect what you don’t know.
That’s why we create visual journalism about the climate crisis.
To those of you who already support us, we ask that you continue to do so and, if you’re willing and able, that you help us spread the word about this campaign so we can reach our minimum funding goals.
To those of you who follow us on our website and social media but haven’t made a donation yet, now is the best time to do so. We need you! Help us produce and publish high-quality visual journalism on the causes and consequences of human activity on the planet we inhabit, and on possible solutions to the challenges we currently face.
