So sad to hear of the loss of my dear friend Kathy Mackinnon, one of the great conservation leaders of the past four decades. My condolences to her family, and her many friends and admirers around the world. iucn.org/story/202303/m…

So sad to hear of the loss of Pele, greatest athlete of the 20th century and the greatest footballer ever. I always wanted to meet him, but sadly never did. But I did see him play live, Santos vs São Paulo, in 1971

Lula won!!! What a relief for Brazil, for Amazonia, and for the world. It was close, but we’ll take it. Looking forward to a very positive and productive next four years.

A comprehensive new book on the Natural History of Primates has just come out.  Dedicated to the late Robert Sussman, it covers a wide range of topics and is highly recommended. rowman.com/ISBN/978144224…

The Brazilian state of Mato Grosso is excellent for primate-watching.  With 29 species, including two recently described endemics (Schneider's Mt sharmoset, Mico schneideri) and the Mato Grosso Titi Monkey (Plecturocebus grovesi), it should be high on your list to visit
