Jeremy Hance is a freelance environmental journalist. For six years he served as a lead writer and editor at Mongabay, one of the world’s most popular (and well-respected) environmental websites. Currently, he remains a correspondent with Mongabay while also keeping up a blog at The Guardian that covers stories from the front-lines of conservation. He has experience writing about wildlife, climate change, energy politics, animal behavior, indigenous people and many other topics.

Jeremy has traveled to nearly thirty countries and four continents. He has had the good fortune to watch a cheetah kill from beginning-to-end in Kenya, hang out with the world’s most imperiled rhino in Malaysia, catch dinosaur-aged mammals in the undergrowth of Dominican Republic, and walk beneath the towering canopy of the Amazon.

His forthcoming memoir, Baggage, follows his travels through the tropics while coming to terms with his recently diagnosed Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He is also the author of Life is Good: Conservation in an Age of Mass Extinction (Mongabay) and his work has appeared in Yale360, Ensia, and Alert: Conservation, among other publications. He has given presentations at conferences and zoos and has interviewed with NPR’s Living on Earth and The John Batchelor Show among others.

When not traveling, Jeremy hangs his hat in St. Paul, Minnesota with his wife, daughter, and miniature schnauzer. He enjoys time with friends, cups of tea, long hikes, even longer novels and the occasional TV binge-watching.
