Global communications at @ifawglobal. Lover of fresh air, wild optimism, an open mind and well-placed sarcasm.

The @WashPost has now laid off its Asia editor, its New Delhi bureau chief, its Sydney bureau chief, its Cairo bureau chief, the entire Middle East reporting team, China correspondents, Iran correspondents, Turkey correspondents, and many more. The world is becoming less America-centric by the minute while the United States is becoming more America-centric than ever. It is just a depressing yet somehow perfect summation of our current moment that one of the most important newspapers in the history of the country - one that has actually shaped the history of the United States - doesn't think reporting on the world is of any use anymore. What an utterly perfect encapsulation of where we have arrived.

With ~10 weeks still to go, 22 North Atlantic right whale calves have already been documented this season—the highest in 15 years. More than numbers, these calves represent resilience, determination, and the legacy of decades of conservation work. https://t.co/gBuT0gYyV9

I’ve been writing over on Substack, merging my Fortune 100 brand experience with a decade in nonprofit conservation marketing. https://t.co/2jGh2kskLB (What’s your story? I’d love to follow you!)

New national poll from @ifawglobal confirms what many of us know: Americans overwhelmingly support protecting #wildlife, #endangeredspecies and natural habitats—across party lines.

Science, nature, and public opinion are aligned. Let’s act like it.

Leaders are in Belém, Brazil for #COP30—the first ever held in the Amazon Rainforest. This “implementation COP” is a chance to turn climate promises into action—for ecosystems, species & the communities who rely on them. https://t.co/DNzjP0tgjj

Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Environment, Forest & Climate Change, Govt of India @KVSinghMPGonda , released WTI's report, "Guardians of the Wild: Supporting India’s Frontline Forest Staff", during the IUCN WCPA International Ranger Award Ceremony at #IUCNCongress #AbuDhabi

[WCS @TheWCS]

A new report we released with partners shows how legal loopholes in EU law enable a flourishing trade in illegally-sourced wildlife.

This week at the #IUCNcongress, we are supporting Motion 108, to address the global pet trade.

Inspired as our @ifawglobal team arrives to Day 1 at #COP16Colombia. We also launched our Wildlife Guidelines for NDCs today to help nations integrate wildlife conservation into their #ParisAgreement commitments. Let’s do this! 🌱 https://t.co/2Uml603wzt

Does everyone measure floodwaters based on approach to the village liquor store, or is that just Vermont? I’m still new here.

BREAKING! The SECOND mother and calf pair of North Atlantic right whales has been spotted by @CMAquarium. Mom #3360/Horton was seen with her 3rd known calf, after sadly losing her previous two calves. Horton is more than 21 years old, and continuing to help her species survive.

Week 2 of #COP28 and tomorrow is NATURE day!

The global challenges of #climatechange and #biodiversity loss are undeniably linked. New IFAW report highlights need for integration of wildlife conservation into national climate action plans, particularly in #Africa and least developed countries: https://t.co/iWGGJ4q7Ka #COP28

"In 2050, our grandchildren won't be asking what we said, they will be living with the consequences of what we did or didn't do.

So if we act together to safeguard our precious planet, the welfare of all our people will surely follow."

Stretching my Twitter muscles again as we head to #COP28UAE in one week. Will you be there, and will you be using Twitter?

As climate change creates scarce natural resources for people & animals, it becomes even more challenging to live free of conflict. So how do we find a solution? We must work in partnership, not in competition with others to make powerful change. Read on: https://t.co/NyUCbNlcpH
