About

The Jungle Journal is an online platform with an annual print magazine at its core. We cover themes around the environment, global cultures, ecosystems, past and modern histories, indigenous activism, and reflections.

We understand the value of returning to our roots and giving value to protecting the environment where we live. Through our work we generate a re-connection to the land through sharing global stories and promoting accessible education, grounded from the heart.

What Our Readers Say

The Jungle Journal promotes and highlights cultures from around the world, maily indigenous and other underrepresented groups.
Elizabeth Benttley — Missouri, United States

I love this project! What a gift to the world. Thanks so much for sharing the wisdom you find and letting us be part of it.
Susanne Probst — Berlin, Germany

Breixo Martíns — Moaña, Spain

I have really been enjoying The Jungle Journal. The founder's story is lovely and reminded me why I love print. Physically feeling written word in your hand is more captivating than the endless abyss style reading we do on our phones.
