This was by far my favourite project of 2019, incredible places with exceptional people. @variant_bio are a very exciting company, pleased to come along for the ride with @kajawasi and @stephanecastel medium.com/variantbio/the…

Installation of a long-range (LoRa) transmitter in a black rhino's horn. 🦏 This was during an ear notching and transmitter fitting exercise at Lewa led by @kwskenya's Veterinary and Capture Team. 📸 @martienssen #AntiPoaching #Technology #TechInConservation #EarthRanger

Transparency is incredibly important to us, and film is a really effective medium. This furthers our goal of openness with communities about our work. So glad to have @martienssen join us on the journey.

@IAPonomarenko Hahaha, give me a shout I can help with the transition, writing this from my Kenya filming home. No more war for me

When this war is over, I’m gonna quit war journalism. Fuck it. I’m gonna get a quiet remote place to live and will be writing stories of whales and polar explorers.

The dump outside Luzhniki Stadium after that very concert. Just the essence of it all in one photo.

@JamesAALongman Reporting at its finest mate.

For a brief moment, a Kremlin-friendly paper said 10,000 Russian soldiers have been killed. It’s now been taken down. Russia has never admitted to a number as high. It’s an extraordinary revelation and may even be an act of sabotage at the paper by an anti-war employee

Remember the girl who sang Frozen in a Ukrainian bomb shelter? She just sang on stage at a charity concert in Poland

Antarctica has experienced unfathomable temperatures in recent days. Temperatures have been as high as 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. One of the most anomalous extreme temperature events ever observed in human history. (h/t @capitalweather)

You rarely hear from mothers of Russian soldiers. This lady came up to us at an anti-war protest in Moscow, desperate for the safety of her 22 yr old son. She told us there were only 10 men left in his regiment. If there are voices Putin fears, it’s these

Oh wow. This is incredibly brave. A journalist at Russian state tv storms the set with a sign saying ‘Stop the war, don’t believe the propaganda. They lie to you here!’ Her name is Maria Ovsiannikova and she has now been taken to a police station twitter.com/maryilyushina/…

The Russian are claiming a pregnant woman hurt in a hospital bombing photographed by AP photographer @EMaloletka - who’s been surrounded by their forces with barely food & unable to escape for two weeks - is a crisis actress. He’ll get the Pulitzer. They’ll get The Hague.

Watch this,world. Watch pregnant Ukrainian women with their faces covered in blood. Watch facilities for newborn babies destroyed. Watch dead bodies buried in a mass grave because of incessant bombardment of Mariupol. You enabled Putin for years,and it's the result 📷E. Maloletka

BREAKING: 🇵🇱Poland hands over all of its Mikoyan MiG-29 jet fighters to 🇺🇦Ukraine via 🇺🇸United States 🔥🔥🔥 Now we’re talking!!

Ermm…

In Kyiv a woman knocked down a Russian drone from a balcony with a jar of cucumbers. How did they expect to occupy this country?

According to Putin's plan, Belarus’ troops had to enter Ukraine a week ago. But something went wrong. Some officers resigned, some fled Belarus and contacted us. Conscripts are massively fleeing. Apparently, some generals opposed the participation of Belarus in the war.

It seems there is massive resistance in Belarus - also within its armed forces - towards taking part in the 🇷🇺 invasion of 🇺🇦. Lukashenko might have to backtrack. twitter.com/franakviacorka…

#Russia cluster munitions being dropped on #Kharkiv, a city of 1.4 million people. Appalling.

@mattczeller The tanks have bar armour, the helicopters have a great defence suit, they’re not B troops
