Hania Eve Peper

Growing up on the rugged shorelines of Vancouver Island, Hania spent much of her youth exploring the diverse ecosystems of coastal British Columbia and developing a deep passion for the Canadian wilderness. Hania now specializes in sustainability and public relations. During her time working in corporate ESG marketing and communications in the private sector, she hastened her skillset to engage a broad range of stakeholders on the importance of corporate sustainability. Hania has also been involved in a number of local and provincial environmental movements, where she served as a Spokesperson, organized outreach efforts, and developed communication strategies designed to mobilize broad-based audiences.

Hania’s commitment to environmental advocacy in Canada first took root after spending two years in Europe following her high school graduation. There, she developed a newfound appreciation for the wilderness of her birth place. Hania later returned to Canada to complete a degree in Montreal in Communications and Cultural Studies while specializing in Professional Writing. With this, her goal was to develop the necessary skills for effectively building awareness around environmental issues across diverse audiences.

A year into her studies, Hania spent a summer waitressing on the small Island of Saturna located off the coast of southern BC. During her time spent immersed in the magnificent natural beauty of the island, Hania found herself confronting the periodic smoke-filled days of the rampant wildfires that engulfed the province that year. Hania’s time on Saturna became another pivotal catalyst along her path to a career devoted to protecting ecosystems in Canada, and when she returned to Montreal, she made the decision to complete a second specialization in Sustainability Studies while deepening her involvement in student-led environmental initiatives.

Today, Hania is thrilled to harness her experiences and skills in her role at NBSF as she drives efforts forward to protect Canada’s most endangered ecosystems.
