I was told today my Washington Post job is being eliminated

It's just a job, but it's one that I was proud to do for 8+ yrs alongside the best in the business

I'm here for opportunities to tell stories about the natural world and how we impact it

Latest article in this series by @dinograndoni.bsky.social @byaliceli.bsky.social & @joshualott.bsky.social on examples of how conserving different wildlife species can also help save human lives: wapo.st/4peEOoI [gift link]

This year, we've been writing about the hidden ways many animals, including frogs and vultures, help human well-being

Our story on wolves is the last in the series. Check out the rest here:

Wolves, long feared and reviled, may actually be lifesavers A new line of research has revealed a surprising finding about how the presence of wolves helps keep people safe.

@byaliceli.bsky.social, @joshualott.bsky.social & I went to Minnesota this month to learn how discoveries like this are adding new dimensions to our understanding of what we lose when we lose species

Studies suggest wolves in the Midwest and Canada not only keep deer populations in check, but they also alter deer behavior around roads in ways that help prevent car crashes and save human lives

People love to hate wolves. They're the villain of old fairy tales — and today a bane for cattle ranchers

But new research is helping rewrite the story of the big, bad wolf — with a surprise twist

Humans killed millions of vultures. Now people are paying the price. The near-extinction of vultures in India has had severe consequences.

And here's the 2nd story in the series!

It's on the stunning & unexpected connection between the 📉 in vultures and the 📈 in rabies in India

Humans killed millions of vultures. Now people are paying the price. The near-extinction of vultures in India has had severe consequences.

The lightning decline of vultures in India, led to a surge in dogs, dog bites and rabies deaths. I was able to report the story in India, thanks to The Washington Post, the Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting and my reporting partner Dino Grandoni. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
