​
And, sure, you could hang out with Rishi Sunak or Kamala Harris or the Head of ESG of XYZ Corporation or whomever, but —

🐸 Are they in the rainforest studying butterflies and tropical frogs and building capacity in indigenous communities?
📰 Are they on the ground covering Africa’s most vital conservation news?
🤝 Are they creating the businesses that will shift our economy to benefit nature rather than destroy it?

👎 No. No, they aren’t.
