Contributing Editor, Environment
Samuel spent a decade as a conservation biologist with the WWF, working on projects in the Amazon and the Congo Basin. This hands-on experience informs his vivid, on-the-ground reporting. He has contributed to 'National Geographic' and 'The Guardian', and his photography has been featured in several gallery exhibitions. For The Scientific Frontier, Samuel connects climate data to the lived experiences of communities on the front lines, creating powerful narratives about ecological change. His book, 'The Quiet Migration', documented the effects of desertification in the Sahel and was longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize.
