GardenComm Emergent Communicators Honorees

Nadina has been named a National Geographic Explorer, a Fulbright Scholar, a Van Leer Foundation Fellow, and a Forbes 30 Under 30. She hosts the Internet of Nature Podcast - conversations with the researchers, practitioners, and city-makers who know that nature needs to be at the table in every conversation about cities. Her work has led her in unexpected directions — advising institutional investors on biodiversity monitoring across real estate portfolios, partnering with municipal parks departments and community greening initiatives, helping shape the next decade of park management at Chapultepec, Mexico City's largest urban forest, and leading multi-million dollar research on the links between urban nature and human health. She also regularly joins community book clubs to talk through the ideas in The Nature of Our Cities.
