Yesterday I hiked in Michiru ⛰️. Devastated to see scale of deforestation in a protected area. Solutions are complex but need to combine government action, law enforcement, economic development and conservation efforts from amazing partners like Wildlife & Environmental Society of Malawi (WESM)

Why did negotiators fail to hammer a deal at the just concluded UN Plastic Treaty Talks in Nairobi?

🚨POLLUTERS OUT🚨

Analysis from Center for International Environmental Law #BreakFreeFromPlastic shows petrochemical lobbyists are out in force at #PlasticsTreaty talks.

Like industry lobbyists have stalled progress on #Climate , there's a risk they'll obstruct progress on tackling #PlasticPollution too.

Save the date...

I sat on the floor for a full hour, not moving anything but the camera to get these. Couldn't feel my legs for another hour after that 🥴.
