In 2024, 70% of 900+ of environmental journalists faced attacks, threats or pressure, just for doing their job, shining a spotlight on critical issues like poaching & animal trafficking. On #WorldPressFreedomDay , we must demand accountability: their stories must be heard.

On #MayDay , I stand in solidarity with workers worldwide. Over 26 million people work in forced labour, generating $236 billion in illegal profits a year. This exploitation violates their dignity & human rights. We must ensure fair & decent working conditions for all workers.
