Massive congrats to these rangers. And a shout out to Union-Palm Island Environmental Alliance, St Vincent & Grenadines for its sterling conservation work in the aftermath of hurricane Beryl. #IUCNcongress #SVG, and #VisitSVG
🌍 At the #IUCNcongress in Abu Dhabi, we proudly honoured 13 rangers & ranger teams with the 2025 International Ranger Awards 🛡️🌿
From Ukraine’s estuaries to Madagascar’s forests, these heroes protect biodiversity, empower communities & inspire global conservation efforts.
Their work supports the #30x30 goal, conserving 30% of land, waters & seas by 2030, and reminds us that protecting nature is a shared mission. 🌱🌊
Thank you to our partners: @ConservtnAllies , @EADTweets , @BMZ_Bund , @giz_gmbh & International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).

"It doesn't matter if you're practising karate or making a coffee. Flamenco is a frame of mind."
In this piece for @NatGeoTravelUK I travelled to Granada to discover how the spirit of flamenco infuses the city’s artistic and everyday life.

“We can all be planetesimals”.. still thinking about @RobGMacfarlane‘s talk last night on the natural world and its vital river systems & how tiny acts of protest & advocacy can create a powerful mass. A sign of good things to come from the new Conversation series @smitf_london

It is publication day! I put my heart, soul and SO MUCH time into writing Nature's Ghosts.
It is a book about nature: about the rich & magical landscapes of the past, which humans destroyed, but which we can try to rebuild.
I hope it makes a difference.
