🐘 Is an elephant worth more dead... or alive? The answer may seem obvious - but research shows while poaching one for ivory may get you $30,000, a living elephant is valued at $2 million. Economists say putting a price on biodiversity is one way to protect it. Here’s how. 🧵

What's the worth of a living elephant in helping conserve Africa's rainforest & store CO2? Experts think it could be as much as $1.76 million and are developing tech to realise that value as a way to protect #nature @michaeljtabb @IPBES #ValuesAssessment tmsnrt.rs/3ADDOEX

I spent a day with Olympic speedskater Maame Biney, and she opened up about how an abusive coach made her think about ending her athletic career, and how she found her confidence again. For @fivethirtyeight, with @meg3mcd and insight from @ipahw youtube.com/watch?v=7J1dpKRA…

This is an amazing graph. Sums up the last 50 years, in all their folly:

Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls. One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails. Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)
