Emma Marris (born January 15, 1979) is an American non-fiction writer whose works focus on modern environmentalism.[1] Before becoming an author, she wrote for Nature for five years.[2] Her book Rambunctious Garden: Saving Nature in a Post-Wild World focuses on conservation approaches that don't focus on pristine wilderness.[3] Her TED talk on broadening the definition of nature has been watched over 1 million times.[4] Her articles appear in outlets including National Geographic, Outside, the Atavist, Wired, High Country News, and the New York Times.[5] Marris is also a climate justice activist who emphasizes collective action on climate over reducing one's individual carbon footprint through consumer choices.[6] In November 2019, she was arrested during at sit-in in the office of Oregon Governor Kate Brown, asking the governor to oppose a proposed fossil fuel pipeline in Southern Oregon.[7] She is a board member of the climate justice group Rogue Climate[8] and an Institute Fellow at UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability.[9] She lives in Klamath Falls, Oregon.
