Hi, I am ecologist originally from Brazil, where I have spent most of my career studying how climate affect (and will affect) plant biodiversity and ecosystem functions. I am particularly fascinated with tropical rainforests, as they represent the most species-rich biome in the world, play a vital role in stabilizing the global climate and are essential for the indigenous and native communities who depend on its natural resources for their survival.

Nick Morrison
Auckland, New Zealand
During my 10 years working in the fitness industry both in New Zealand and London, UK, I was constantly trying to help people with the same physical problems (sore backs and necks, fatigue, and stress). I would do all I could to help them physically but the issue was bigger. Their lifestyles were out of balance. And the more I thought about the more I came to the conclusion that there is something fundamentally wrong with our economic system. My travels through South East Asia, the Americas, and Europe showed to me that this problem was a global problem. The inequalities I experienced and the environmental destruction I saw first-hand motivated me to do more to help. On my return to Aotearoa New Zealand, I took the plunge and changed careers. I started by working for a start-up compostable packaging business which was my doorway into sustainability, and circular economy thinking. I am now the founder of a sustainability consultancy.
