The world lost two of its greatest guardians this week. On 8th December, Mark Jenkins & his son, Peter, died after their plane went down in Tsavo East NP. We are wrapping our minds around this tragedy & our hearts go out to Clare & Myles, who lost a husband, father, son & brother

We need to restore the Earth's #biodiversity if we are ever going to have a future. This is why #COP15 is so important. We can’t solve the #naturecrisis without whales. We’re calling on leaders to recognise 🐳 as our restoration allies & support the full recovery of populations.
