An Animal Photojournalist’s Reflections on the Los Angeles Wildfires & the Climate Crisis

An Animal Photojournalist’s Reflections on the Los Angeles Wildfires & the Climate Crisis

Almost five years ago to the day, I stood in the charred remains of a eucalyptus plantation looking for survivors of the Australian wildfires.

Since then, fires have consumed vast stretches of the Amazon, Canada’s western provinces, and California.

Serving up Progress in Tucson: Hannah Hernandez’ Vegan Night Market

Food conjures up a special kind of magic. It tells a story, draws us together, and sparks connections.

Fear, Determination, and Relief: My Night on a Fur Farm

During a recent visit to Poland, Jo-Anne McArthur accompanied animal rights organization Anima International to document conditions for animals on a fur farm.
