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.

DISCOVERY Expeditions (0747 55050) still has spaces available for its trip to the jungles of Guyana being led by Colonel John Blashford-Snell. The expedition, which departs on 21 August and returns on 21 September, intends to seek out giant otters, horned anacondas and a monkey-like creature called Loys's Ape. The party will also be carrying out research with the Paramambo tribe.

The cost of the 'El Dorado Guyana Expedition' is pounds 3,245 per person (excluding the air fare of approximately pounds 650) and is open to anyone over 25. 'Compatibility is more important than super-fitness,' say the organisers.
