One action Howey would like everyone to take:

"If you are amazed by my work and would like your audience and network to hear my stories, don’t hesitate in invite me to conferences and grassroots meetings. If you can help me to speak in CBD (Convention on Biological Diversity) COP15 which takes place in China in April 2022, it would be great help."
