The Colonist Report is an independent investigative newsroom focused on environmental, climate, and energy accountability in developing countries. Published by The Colonist International Ltd., a UK-registered company (No. 15222317), the outlet reports on forests, oceans, land rights, and science‑driven environmental research, with a particular emphasis on Africa. Founded by Nigerian journalist Elfredah Kevin‑Alerechi, the newsroom pairs field reporting with data analysis, satellite imagery, and other evidence‑based methods to scrutinize corporate and government actions and to elevate community solutions. Its Africa operation, The Colonist Report Africa, is registered in Nigeria as The Colonist Africa Limited and deepens coverage in remote and underserved communities, including maritime and port activity. Through JournoTECH, the organization trains journalists, educators, and local groups to use AI and digital tools ethically; in 2025 it also launched the Yenaluko Centre for Media Development Foundation in Nigeria to expand media literacy and technology access for women, youth, and people with disabilities. In 2025, The Colonist Report Africa won a Covering Climate Now Journalism Award (Food & Agriculture) for “Sinking Homes and Farmlands: Climate Crisis Worsens in Nigeria,” recognized for AI‑assisted analysis of more than 3,000 pages of public records and for tangible local impact. The outlet maintains an independent ownership structure, publishes corrections transparently, and limits undercover work to cases with clear public interest.
