For the latest Earth to Humans Podcast episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Hila the Earth - an eco-rapper and climate clown. In the environmental sector, things can be very doom and gloom, so when I see someone rapping about mycelium, dressed as an Earth cheerleader, twerking next to a giant glowing mushroom, there's no chance I'd bypass the opportunity to have a chat with them! I wanted to share it with the community as I always love to see creative, humorous, outside-the-box science communication - if you do too, or just want someone to put a big smile on your face, check out the episode (and DEFINITELY have a scroll through Hila's Instagram feed!

I started my conservation career as a researcher/author for the Arkive online natural world encyclopedia, before managing the Wildscreen Exchange project which gives 350+ organisations across the world access to free photographs and videos for their communications. From working on this project, I developed a keen interest in conservation communications and began researching impact and technique.

I also ran the public section of the Wildscreen Festival, Witness the Wild, which is an event programme that includes a travelling bicycle-powered wildlife film cinema, the world's largest recycled and recyclable photography exhibition, and a nature-themed street art gallery. Since then, I have been running my own conservation communications business, Song and Dance Communications, but split my time 50/50 between this and field work, which mostly centres around ecosystem restoration and short-term contracts in the ecotourism industry. I also produce a seldom updated blog, which I hope to spend more time on at some point in the not-too-distant future!
