Great to see our Risks Beyond Human Eyes project covered by @yeomans.bsky.social for The Times. The project assessed how the risks facing River Tone, in the UK, can be understood through the eyes of the river's nonhuman inhabitants. Led by @beingphilt.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...
Wildlife researchers pretending to be otters and worms
As they swam, slithered and ran near the River Tone, the participants were encouraged to experience how the animals sense the world around them

Wonderful article by @patrickbarkham.bsky.social ft. our research with the people of #RiverTone. Over a periods of weeks, they worked deeply with five nonhuman animals - stepping into their world - to reveal risks we had never considered before. www.theguardian.com/environment/... @asranetwork.org
