Frederick Mugira

“When communities are displaced, they can become enemies of what they once protected.” Ugandan journalist and National Geographic Explorer Frederick Mugira shares how growing up with water scarcity shaped his lifelong commitment to environmental journalism. He discusses walking long distances to fetch water as a child, how those experiences influenced his career choices, and why he chose storytelling as his tool for change. Frederick reflects on founding Water Journalists Africa, leading continent-wide collaborations such as InfoNile and the Apes Reporting Project, and using journalism to connect science, policy, and community voices around water, wildlife, and climate change.
