Born in 1972 in New Jersey to a French mother and an African-American father, Thomas Dubois studied journalism at the New York School of Journalism before embarking on a career as a freelance reporter. His mixed heritage and appetite for discovery have taken him from the depths of the Amazon rainforest to the ice fields of the Arctic, where he’s sharpened both his critical eye and his storytelling craft.
Today, as a freelance journalist for Planet Keeper, he devotes himself entirely to raising awareness of the climate emergency and the need to protect fragile ecosystems. By blending on-the-ground investigations, scientific data, and first-hand testimonies, he seeks to awaken readers’ consciences and inspire concrete action on behalf of our one and only planet.
