Another big story was reporting for @cnn.com on how Colombia's capital city Bogotá is teaching men to "care" - domestic work, child support etc - in a pioneering attempt to fight gender inequality https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/asequals/teaching-men-caring-skills-colombia-as-equals-intl-cmd/

I also looked at the growing potential of urban farming and how Quito, Ecuador, is using it to help marganalised communities thrive, for @nextcity.org https://nextcity.org/features/quito-ecuador-urban-gardens-where-gender-and-climate-justice-grow

Again in Ecuador, I visited the cloud forest of Los Cedros, easily one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited, and reported on how it is a vision of a future where the rights of the natural world protected https://www.yesmagazine.org/environment/2024/09/11/forest-rights-nature-ecuador

I visited Mexico City's chinampas, a kind of ancient floating garden that are proving highly effective amid climate change. They also are home the axolotl, a magical creature that regenerate its own body.

There was then a break-neck change of pace reporting on the French elections and the broader political chaos in France, which is indeed the gift that keeps on giving. Here's some of the many bits of analysis I did for @inews.co.uk and others https://inews.co.uk/news/world/france-hung-parliament-success-republican-front-3157138
