Thinking about this beautiful, influential trailblazer on #internationalwomensday2025 Nat, sorely missed by those who knew her, was a contributor at T&C & a fellow Fellow with @RCGS_SGRC It was a privilege to help share her story.

The remarkable photographs she took of wildlife and far-flung landscapes contributed to her election as a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and earned her a strong online following

This was a lot of fun! Such a great venue and a super engaged crowd. Huge thanks to @CanGeo @RCGS_SGRC for the invitation to speak about my book.
Can Geo was excited to welcome journalist @DGeselbracht to @50SussexEvents! He shared inspiring stories of climate change resilience and adaptation and stories of hope and wonder encouraging us to confront this long-term phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.
