Our role as scientists is different now 🥼🌍
If decision-makers & governments had acted on the science we wouldn’t be facing climate & biodiversity collapse 🔥
Publications, data & presentations alone can’t save us 🔬📄

Last week I concluded my review of the year by writing “I hope 2025 is the year people worldwide wake up to the multiple threats we are facing and start to act accordingly.” Maybe my wish for the year is beginning to be fulfilled. This week the media has been full of the horrendous wildfires in Los Angeles. I don’t want to downplay how horrendous these events are and any loss of life is dreadful.
