This journalist duo is being recognized for their compelling investigative reporting on the plight of captive tigers in the U.S. Read more about their work at the link in bio. "Documenting animal abuse, wildlife trafficking, and other criminality was heartbreaking. But the National Geographic Society gave a copy of our 30-page National Geographic story to every member of Congress—and in December 2022, the Big Cat Public Safety Act was signed into law. It was among the most meaningful moments of my career—a big step toward protecting big cats all over the world." - Steve Winter In these photos: 1.
