1. Editor, the Revelator

   Center for Biological Diversity

   Jan 2017 — Present · Portland, OR, US

   The Revelator is an editorially independent news and ideas site - founded and established by myself - covering endangered species, climate change, public lands, pollution, environmental justice and related topics. A project of the Center for Biological Diversity, The Revelator seeks to redefine the conversation about conservation in the 21st century. We publish a broad range of journalism, expert commentary and other contributions from some of the top minds in environmental issues around the world. We also publish through a Creative Commons model, allowing our stories and commentary to be republished throughout the world, extending the information and ideas that we present to an ever-growing and ever-evolving audience. Through everything we do, we adhere to the highest journalistic and intellectual standards and have an unapologetic love for the wild.
