Existing power imbalances and injustices could be exacerbated by large flows of international funding for nature. Conservationists are still grappling with what social justice means in practice; a major shift in mindset is needed. Piece in @PLOSBiology journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…

More than 300 of us who have worked in Moscow over the years have signed an open letter to Russia's foreign minister calling on Russia to free Evan Gershkovich immediately. (The letter and its impressive list of names is here: freegershkovich.com/letter-t…)

Details are sparse but this seems very bad. @evangershkovich has lots of experience in Russia, has official accreditation & is obviously not a spy. This could be a game-changer for foreign media still working there themoscowtimes.com/2023/03/3…

This city is unbreakable. In the midst of the war, just 40 km from the border, in the underground bunker, Kharkiv hosts 5th Literary Festival and a discussion on the future of the front-line city.

Happy Friday folks - please have a peek at this incredible @InfluenceMap report, that checks what fossil co's talk about, versus what they actually do / invest in.
Yes, you guessed it: they're severely exxagerating their climate solutions investments.

I spoke to a survivor of Bucha summary shootings. He was only speaking to me because he had played dead on the concrete floor.

Putin has been pumping poison into their heads for 20 years, every channel & outlet. For perspective, it took Trump, Facebook, and one cable news station a few months to turn a third of Americans against democracy. nitter.gq/VALERIEinNYT/status/15…
Across Ukraine, I have been meeting people w close relatives in Russia who refuse to believe the extent of the violence their state is perpetrating.
Cities suffer missile attacks, mothers fear for sons, but fathers, sisters, brothers respond w denial. 🧵

A Sunday night stroll through Moscow, the "NO WAR" graffiti is being scrubbed off and hidden under fresh paint. One worker told me I couldn't take a photo. That is how cowed people are. They think they'll get into trouble over an image of a partly obscured word: "war."
