“Whenever I go walking by the ocean, I just wonder, ‘Are there any giant squid deep down under there?’ ” Great (and jealously-inducing) piece from Lindsay Jones theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…


"Gwaii Hanaas could be a model for how Indigenous stewardship of lands and waters could act as a safety rail on a planet dangerously out of control," writes Leyland Cecco for his The Guardian piece on how we can learn from Haida conservation efforts. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The story of Haida Gwaii's protected areas, beautifully told and captured by Leyland Cecco and Cole Burston. “Like the forests, the roots of our people are intertwined such that the greatest troubles cannot overcome us. We owe our existence to Haida Gwaii.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

Lucky to be working alongside Leyland Cecco for this piece from beautiful Haida Gwaii - An end to plunder and pillage: how a First Nations nature reserve became a model for the world theguardian.com/environment/20…

It “felt not only like a violation of rights but also a plundering, both personal and existential.” Our senior editor Harley Rustad on his book being featured on a data set of titles being used by companies to train their generative AI systems. thewalrus.ca/ai-authors-spe…

This Leyland Cecco story combines shipwrecks, Newfoundland and a mystery – I must be praying to the right gods of news theguardian.com/world/2024/feb…
