Ken Wu has worked in the environmental movement for over three decades, first volunteering for his Calgary high school environmental club in 1990. He was the Co-founder and Executive Director of the Ancient Forest Alliance between 2010 to 2018, and served as the Executive Director and Campaign Director of the Wilderness Committee in Victoria between 1999 to 2010. He graduated from the ecology and evolutionary biology department at the University of British Columbia and previously worked as a biologist, tree-planter, and math tutor. 

Celina Starnes is the Operations and Outreach Director at the Endangered Ecosystems Alliance. She has worked with numerous non-profits and at various levels of government. Her deep love for the natural world led her to focus her career on building strategic relationships beyond traditional environmentalists to influence conservation on a national scale.

Nick’s passion for the Canadian wilderness brings him to EEA from the world of classical music. Outside the practice room, Nick has worked in campaign operations and database management for the Canadian Opera Company and continues to volunteer with local environmental non-profits. As he was born and raised in Hamilton Ontario, he will take any opportunity to hike through Cootes Paradise to take in his local bit of Canada’s biodiversity. Nick is now excited to be applying his experience as an administrator to Canadian conservation full-time.
