Dahr Jamail
Storytelling and Communications Manager, Home Planet Fund
Dahr Jamail is a former mountaineer, guide, and rescue volunteer on Denali in Alaska, who went on to work for a decade as a war correspondent in the Middle East, then for another decade as a journalist covering the environment and climate crisis.
The author of five books, Dahr’s most recent publication focuses on Indigenous perspectives of the polycrisis. He is a storyteller and believes in the transformational properties of bearing witness to both the grief and pain arising from what is being done to our planet. He sees this work as integral to creating ethical impacts towards supporting future generations.
Dahr works for the Home Planet Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting the climate crisis by directly supporting frontline, Indigenous, and rural communities whose practices restore lands and waters.
“We’re all together. We’re all part of the Earth. All of the parts of Earth are parts of us and we need to behave accordingly.”
