Hi, I’m Linus Unah, a Nigerian journalist and filmmaker interested in wildlife conservation, environmental science, development, global health, and conflict. My work has appeared for publications like Mongabay, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, National Public Radio, TRT World, Devex, African Business Magazine, The New Humanitarian (formerly IRIN News), The Christian Science Monitor, America Magazine, World Politics Review and several others. 

I recently worked as the West Africa Representative for San Francisco-based WildAid, an international wildlife conservation nonprofit, where I assisted in producing short wildlife documentaries, animations, TV and radio series to raise awareness about the illegal wildlife trade and habitat loss while also promoting local support for conservation efforts in Nigeria and across Africa. In 2018, I won the Future Awards Africa 2018 Prize for Journalism. And in mid-2023, I co-directed my first short documentary, “Split Jury” with Buddy Terry in the documentary program at the University of California, Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism.
