No such thing as work /life balance, no sharp distinction between work and play, always doing both. Grappling with conservation, justice, wildernesses with their people, leadership, and carnivores. Photography is my kind of mindfulness.
1 month since IS -Mozambique attacks started in Niassa Special Reserve. Still very insecure. All the gains over the past 20 years in eastern NSR are at risk.. insecurity is terrible for people and wildlife. This is a protected area that supports 70000 people and wildlife including 800 to 1000 lions

I see so many comments remarking that Bishops should not get involved in politics. How about Bishop Desmond Tutu who won the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end apartheid.

A major red flag is when a conservation organisation has no consolidated budget or clear plan but adjusts activities to fit donors. Chasing the money might work short term, but it doesn't work longterm. Itresults in all these different shortterm projects unconnected to a broader mission.

Why is it always about finding work /life balance not work / family balance? My work is part of my life and purpose. It seems weird to not consider it life, I spend a lot of time doing work, it is part of who I am.

The situation continues to be complicated in #Mozambique. Demonstrations to contest the provisional electoral result have been going on for a month now and they have lost no steam...

One of my favourite images from 2024 to start. Wilderness without people feels empty to me. There is beauty in coexistence. This image is from one early morning in Niassa Reserve, Mozambique on the Lugenda River where I have lived, dreamed, tried and worked since 2003.
