Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Animal lovers are in for a treat with the publication of Lonely Planet’s new book: The A-Z of Wildlife Watching.
Created in conjunction with biologist and writer Amy-Jane Beer, the tome reveals the best places to spot 300 of the world’s most exciting and unusual creatures – from ancient tortoises and Bengal tigers to kiwi glow worms and migrating wildebeest.
Facts and figures about each animal’s character and habits accompany each photograph, along with tips on how to catch a glimpse of some of these wonderful creatures in the wild.
As well as some of the world's most well-known animals, lesser-known species such as hog-nosed bats, giant clams and wobbegongs are represented in this catalogue of natural diversity.
