 Jennifer
Hawks is a journalist who has always felt a powerful connection with
nature. Though originally from New York City, she fell in love with the
Yukon and Northwest Territories during several solo road trips through
the Far North. In 2002, Jennifer moved from Denver to a remote Yukon
cabin where her neighbors included grizzlies, wolves, bald eagles, and
monster-sized fish. She also fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming a
bush pilot.
Jennifer believes that environmental
education has never been more crucial than it is now. As a journalist,
she works to educate commercial fishers and others about the effects of
climate change and the potential results of ocean acidification.
Interest
Environmental education, with a focus on the effects of climate change
