About Jungle Dispatch

Jungle Dispatch builds tropical intelligence: curious dispatches on the cultures, histories, and communities of the Global South — through essays and observations on food, culture, power, and change. The tropics are the world's most biodiverse, culturally rich, and historically layered places yet chronically underreported. Some pieces are reported, some are personal; all are shaped by life in the tropics.
