Yasuní, a global biodiversity hotspot, is threatened by fossil fuels. Aug 20 the people of Ecuador have a historic opportunity to protect the Yasuní by voting YES on this referendum where Ecuador could become an example of democratizing climate action #YesToYasuní #SíAlYasuní

Fire science communication 🔥

[kapil yadav @kapilyadav_1]

Experimenting with comic strips to share my qualitative data results. They are an interesting way to communicate divergent views of stakeholders and controversies. #FiredUp2023

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day and solstice! Consider taking some time today to learn more about cultural fire practices from Indigenous peoples by listening to an episode of Good Fire - there’s 20 of them! https://t.co/iUqugn7ysU #goodfire #fireback #Indigenous #wildfire
