I’ve reported on some alt technologies to reduce whale strikesβ€”such as AI systems to alert ship captains in real timeβ€”and one founder created it because reducing ship speeds wasn’t enough to save right whales. β€œWe cannot afford to ever miss an animal,” he told me. www.biographic.com/ping-youve-g...

FIRST: I talked to some really lovely seabird researchers in the UK about what it was like to see HPAI sweep through Northern Gannet colonies there and what the recovery has been like (for both the birds and the people who love them). www.biographic.com/after-the-ou...

The Ghosts of Conservation Past A look back at the United States’ outsize influence on global conservation reveals why the latest funding cuts should come as no surprise.

For over a century, the United States has largely set the agenda for global conservation--yet the country’s influence is rapidly contracting.

The Future of Conservation Without U.S. Aid The Trump administration’s cuts to biodiversity funding have imperiled species, habitats, and the people who defend both. Now the world seeks a new way forward.

Until last year, the US government was one of the world's biggest funders of #biodiversity protection. For @biographic.bsky.social, I wrote about what's been lost since Trump slashed USAID and other agencies, and how people & organizations are moving forward now.
