Hannah Hartmann
In her roles as a settler aloha ʻāina in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, bioremediation ecologist, community advocate, and co-founder of Maui Bioremediation Group and EarthRM, Hannah fights for systemic change and a remediated future. She is trained in environmental science, ecological restoration, wildland soil science, fire ecology, and tropical conservation biology. She is originally from Los Angeles where she was exposed to large amounts of environmental pollution. This led her to begin looking for solutions to this pollution after personally experiencing pollutant-related illnesses and witnessing several cancer related deaths in her immediate family. Since then, she has been researching nature-based solutions and dedicates her life to remediation and regeneration that aligns with Indigenous protocols.
