@Futurefornature "The Reconecta Project is a step towards a more sustainable infrastructure in Brazil. My team and I are learning the best ways to install the bridges; to date, we have installed 30 of them." #SIFocusOnTheFuture https://t.co/8v1ujbbD2X

@Futurefornature "Roads pose a major dilemma for tree-dwelling animals. They are at risk from car collisions when they venture onto the ground to cross the road. But if they choose not to cross, they risk separation from their habitat and family groups." #SIFocusOnTheFuture https://t.co/v0aXH6LJ7x

"I won a global conservation award from @Futurefornature for my road ecology work and received funding to expand my conservation efforts in the Amazon...I wanted to work on a canopy project to increase forest connectivity and to reduce road collisions." #SIFocusOnTheFuture https://t.co/LYYoCewg20

"The conservation narrative is one that's co-authored by people and wildlife. You can't have one without the other. They're irrevocably intertwined." Read the rest of Kim's profile at s.si.edu/3JILh9l #SIFocusOnTheFuture

"They're like, 'I can't do anything about this. So why bother?' I want to change that narrative.  It’s important to rethink conservation in a way that’s more positive, so people will be motivated to combat issues like climate change and species loss." #SIFocusOnTheFuture pic.twitter.com/B5vdtsVG23

"What I love about this project is it is a hopeful, collaborative and positive story. Conservation is so often limited to this doom and gloom narrative of 'everything's going to chaos.' It perpetuates this sense of hopelessness and people become complacent." #SIFocusOnTheFuture pic.twitter.com/4cfl6IoPcp
