NUJ hosts exhibition honouring Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira
From 18-20 January, the union will hold a free in-person exhibition in London open to NUJ members and the wider public.
NUJ members and the public can learn more about the work of journalist Dom Phillips and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira, killed in June 2022 while undertaking research to inform Phillips' book, 'How to Save the Amazon.'
The exhibition will explore the impact of illegal mining, logging and climate change on the Amazon and indigenous peoples. It also suggests action we can take to positively impact the Amazon, and showcases hopeful solutions for the rainforest.
