We’re paying the price as top corporate plastic polluters @cocacola, @nestle, @unilever, @pepsico, and @MDLZ continue to flood the environment with single-use plastic.
For this Christmas here are our wishes to my X-followers. Have a fun, peaceful and healthy 2024, and please keep protecting our beautiful planet! xxx

@RichardBarrow Hi Richard! Congratulations and join the club! We bought Fika folding bikes earlier this year. They are less than 10 kg. Hopefully we can join you (or meet up with you) on one of your activities that involve bikes!
Memory lane 😉. I am reposting this short interview that @apoliticalco had with me almost 2 years ago. 🙏 Hopefully it inspires some young researchers, especially those now entering the field of violence against women data collection. @kNOwVAWdata@UNFPA@UNFPAAsiaPac

We are working hard to get the new #bear enclosures ready. We hope they will give the bears #rescued from #PhuketZoo, a new lease of life. For the first time in 20+ years, Ginny will feel grass under her feet. We can't wait. Please help here if you can > https://t.co/FOfsiieI1g
Why, when and how men rape: A study in South Africa among men aged 18-49 finds 27.6% have raped a woman. Most were motivated by sexual entitlement, also boredom & ‘entertainment’, & as punishment against girlfriends and other women. Most had first raped girls/women as teenagers.
How life has changed for Thung Ngern 💚 This beautiful 50+ y/o #elephant is blind in one eye. She endured terrible suffering & pain as a logging & trekking elephant. She was #rescued in 2020 & has since been recovering from her trauma at our #refuge. https://t.co/qPhjQzdV3f
