Testimonials
Joanna it’s brilliant. My goodness I don’t think I’ve seen such a spread of conservation orgs represented in one place in any article. How you got us all in while keeping the pace going and not having people’s quotes repeat points is miraculous. Bravo, and thank you.
Mike Pflanz, Media Advisor
Thank you so much for such a positive story! It is beautifully written, and I can feel the spirit and sound of Lewa-Borana and northern Kenya in it … I love that you do a good job of balancing narratives from different individuals, whilst keeping rhino conservation as centre of the narrative.
– Wanjiku Kinuthia, Communications Officer, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy
I have worked with Joanna Eede on many conservation-related projects over the years. We filmed a few wildlife documentaries together and Jo wrote articles on our work in Tanzania. A true love and appreciation of wild places and the people who live within is rooted deep in her, which is reflected throughout her writing. Its a joy spending time with Jo in the wilderness and to experience her appreciation for the places and people.
– Jean du Plessis, Director, Wayo Africa
@Jossums Thank you for your great piece in @NatGeo on Tusk sponsored operation to return rhino to Samburu
Beautifully written as always 🙂

Judges comments on Joanna’s article about Black rhino conservation in Kenya that won a 2019 ATTA media award:
“An excellent piece that captivated and delivered from start to finish. I felt like I was ‘there’.”
“A totally captivating and well developed article in terms of placement, story and content.”
“Without trying too hard, the writer sprinkled magnetism and romance into physical descriptions.”
Thanks Joanna, you capture everything brilliantly.
– Michael Dyer, Owner, Borana Conservancy
Jo supported our corporate communication team with regular articles for the internal newsletter. This involved conducting management interviews, story generation and handling the approval process. Jo is always very quick to grasp the subject matter and can create lively and engaging copy about any business topic. We particularly appreciated her flexibility as notice was often short and deadlines tight. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jo.

“I had the pleasure of working with Joanna in the School of Economics, Finance and Management at the University of Bristol. Her ability to tell a compelling story in an engaging yet succinct way proved invaluable in helping with the recruitment campaign we had been asked to deliver. She is very gifted at listening to often very complex and rather dry subjects and turning them into something that is interesting and understandable. No mean feat when dealing with the world of economics and finance!”
Will Marsh, Head of Media / Deputy Head of Communications
Joanna wrote the first feature article on Pride – an alliance of 6 lion conservationists working across Africa. We had worked with Joanna before and had full confidence in her ability to communicate what exactly Pride is. We believe she did a fantastic job and all Pride members were thrilled with the article. Joanna was easy to work with, understood our challenging schedules and timings, and overall seemed to get a grasp of Pride at its early stages. We really hope to be able to work with Joanna again – she is a great writer.
– Shivani Bhalla from Ewaso Lions
Joanna Eede just wrote this great piece about the formation of the Pride Lion Conservation Alliance for National Geographic, of which RCP’s Director Amy Dickman is a founding member:

What a brilliant article.

Worth clicking: great photo essay about the Nenets, an indigenous tribe in Siberia.
A wonderful and beautiful photo article that so clearly illustrates and poses the dilemma that “progress”,coupled with almost instant global awareness, always threatens “simpler”, but by no means lesser, ways of life and even species.
Thank you for a fantastic article with wonderful pictures and informative and moving text. The Ashaninka’s resistance and strength is hugely inspiring.
Wow.. Just speechless. It’s an amazing story.

‘For all peoples of the world are men‘ … Important history poignantly written by Joanna Eede.

Hope every1 had a gr8 Xmas Best gift I rec’d was ‘We Are One: A Celebration of Tribal Peoples‘ by @survival #indigenous
Joanna Eede has an excellent piece on Huffington Post Green discussing the western idea of “wilderness” and how it often excludes indigenous peoples.
Eede points out that the environmental movement still has a lot of work to do to involve tribal people in the discussions on conservation of lands. It’s an excellent read, and recommended.
