Amazing blog by @sonakshis.bsky.social about what Interdisciplinary Conservation looks like. Her words eloquently captures what the 2025 ICN workshop felt like. I am thrilled to be working with Sonakshi as we develop our outputs from this collaboration!
Great blog to start the week: reflections from @sonakshis.bsky.social on the 2025 Interdisciplinary Conservation Network.
