We’re absolutely delighted to welcome BAFTA-winning actor Joanna Scanlan as a new Ambassador for Size of Wales.
Joanna, who recently appeared in the BBC drama Riot Women, and won a BAFTA for her acclaimed performance in After Love, brings a long-standing commitment to social justice, equality and environmental responsibility to the role.
As an Ambassador, Joanna will support our work to amplify the voices of Indigenous Peoples protecting tropical forests, raise awareness of the global impacts of climate breakdown, and help champion Wales’ role in taking responsibility for its environmental footprint beyond its borders.
Speaking about her new role, Joanna said:
“I’m delighted to become an Ambassador for Size of Wales. Their work shows how a small nation can take meaningful responsibility for its global impact, by standing in solidarity with Indigenous communities who are protecting some of the most vital ecosystems on the planet. At a time when the climate crisis demands both courage and compassion, Size of Wales offers a powerful and hopeful model.”
Nicola Pulman, Director of Size of Wales, added:
“As we mark 15 years of Size of Wales, we are proud to welcome Joanna Scanlan as an Ambassador. Her work on screen and her values off screen align closely with our mission to ensure that Wales continues to play its part in protecting the world’s forests and standing alongside Indigenous peoples.”
We’re thrilled to have Joanna join the Size of Wales community and look forward to working together to support Indigenous-led forest protection.
