President @CyrilRamaphosa and I are finding common ground between Canada & South Africa on oceans protection, our commitment to girls’ education, and on developing stronger trade ties between us - to create more jobs in our countries. Great to see you again today Cyril.

How can fisheries managers make sure fish are caught sustainably?

Although we are in an unprecedented pandemic and I mourn for every life lost and every family affected, I feel that as humans we have become incredibly resilient. Our ability to bounce back quickly and thrive is more apparent than ever. Hope always wins. #Pfizervaccine #hope

I’m so happy and relieved for all the dreamers, the immigrants, minorities both racial and religious, indigenous people, women, LGBTQ2 and anxious, stressed Americans that they can sleep tight tonight knowing they are safer and protected.

[Ben Cole @anthropologiser]

If what makes us human is the ability to connect and create culture then we seriously need to address the way we connect. Technology and particularly social media has changed the way we talk to each other, seriously it’s okay to just say hello. #disconnected #humanism #sayhi

After decades of deforestation, Costa Rica has reforested to the point that half of the country’s land surface is covered with trees again, absorbing CO2. Here's how they did it:

On Indigenous peoples Day, we honour all those remembering, reclaiming, integrating and lifting. We celebrate sacred identities, languages, protocols, traditions, and ceremonies. We honour the unique and varying forms of change and leadership across these lands today & every day.

“The best thing we can do for recovering killer #whales is to restore the habitat for chinook #salmon” - @Duffling #JoinThePod @SalishSeaOrcas @Raincoast @patagonia

[Ben Cole @anthropologiser]

Can these #whales ever recover?@Raincoast and @Duffling doing some great research on this! Answer - yes, but ONLY IF we ACT and begin to tackle the threats to the dwindling population of resident killer whales. 🐋 #JoinThePod #SaveOurWhales @patagonia #TempleOfStoke

[Ben Cole @anthropologiser]

The Southern resident #killer #whales are dependent on chinook #salmon as food source for survival. Chinook is not coming into the Salish Sea early enough in the year for the whales to feed. - @Duffling #JoinThePod #SaveThePod @SalishSeaOrcas #TempleOfStoke @patagonia

[Ben Cole @anthropologiser]

“In the years when #salmon runs are scarce, the eldest female #killer #whale leads the pod because she knows where to find the best food sources from her years of experience” - @Duffling #Matriarch #JoinThePod #SaveOurWhales
