In an attempt to escape a tragic incident on a train the other day, I ventured 82 degrees north and wrote about a bear who met a whale...thanks to the brilliantly talented photog Roie Galitz for capturing a moment of nature's magic for us all to be prompted by!

Book titles To have or to hold: nature’s hidden relationships

I was recently given a gift of a book, all about symbiotic relationships. It’s perfect, curled up in front of a fire, heaven. @sophiepavs.bsky.social

hello from the heat of the moment lessons in resilience from the Fire Chasers

their sex is (literally) on fireΒ 
they can feel fire from 50 miles awayΒ 
they thrive where others fleeΒ 
what else can fire chasers teach us about resilience in the face of the flames?

How To Be a Better Parasite | Atmos Lessons on living sustainably from nature’s most exploitative species.

My latest essay and first piece for the one and only atmos.earth - whose work colliding culture with climate is a force to be reckoned with and greatly admire.

Loved working with the talented editorial team on this one, and thanks to Juul Kraijer for stunning artwork!
