Ryan Huling is an American writer[1] and the author of the nonfiction travelogue The Hidden Nations of Animals: A Grand Tour of Earth’s Wild Civilizations.[2]
Huling is a senior writer at The Good Food Institute (GFI) Asia Pacific, a Singapore-based think tank.[3] Prior to joining GFI, he worked as an international expert for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations[4] and a director at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).[5]
The Hidden Nations of Animals
[edit]Huling’s debut book was published on June 2, 2026 by Avery, an imprint of Penguin Random House.[6][7] Among the places he travels in the book are Canada’s “beaver belt,”[8] the Kazakh Steppe,[9] and the Korean Demilitarized Zone.[10] His writing is accompanied by original maps and illustrations by cartographer Oliver Uberti.[11][12] A “multispecies map” of the University of Exeter’s Penryn Campus created for the book by Uberti was later accepted into the U.S. Library of Congress.[13]
The Hidden Nations of Animals generated media coverage upon release, including in the Los Angeles Times[14] and Atlas Obscura.[15] In its review, The Wall Street Journal described the book as "an important first step toward preserving the many animal nations that our own civilization has displaced."[16]
Writing and advocacy
[edit]Huling has written articles and opinion columns about animal rights,[17] technology,[18] and food for publications including Time,[19] Nature,[20] National Geographic,[21] the South China Morning Post,[22] The Nikkei,[23] and the Los Angeles Times.[24]
At GFI, Huling co-led an effort to align cellular agriculture companies in Asia Pacific behind the nomenclature “cultivated” to describe foods grown directly from animal cells,[25][26] which research shows has since become consumers’ preferred terminology.[27] While at PETA, Huling also served as a national spokesperson.[28][29][30][31]
