One of the world's most fascinating places is an island that hardly ever makes headlines.
Bougainville is determined to become the world's next country — and it seeks US help.

I talked to family of #Cambodia's Mother Nature activists and members about how they are moving forward after the sentencing of 10 environmental activists to 6 to 8 years in prison. My latest for @TheWorld @prx @GBH theworld.org/stories/2024/08…

In the last two decades, #Cambodia lost more than a third of its primary forests. Young activists challenged the government to improve its environment record.
Now, the government is cracking down on them.

Vanessa Mendoza Cortés, an activist for the decriminalization of abortion in Andorra, has been acquitted of defamation.
Last fall, she told me what it's like to live under Europe's toughest abortion ban—and the cost of trying to change it.
