About Tania
Tania Marien is a podcast host and environmental correspondent. Her projects draw on her experiences as an independent environmental education professional, first as the full-time editor, educator, and bookseller at ArtPlantae and now as a podcast producer, writer, researcher, and network builder. Her current project explores how freelance environmental professionals contribute to environmental literacy. She believes that independent professionals are overlooked and that their professionalism and contributions to lifelong learning need to be recognized. Documenting their work is important because it fills the knowledge gap about how people learn about science and the environment outside of the classroom.
Tania is the host and producer of the TALATERRA podcast. This show features conversations with independent professionals who have launched businesses or initiatives to strengthen environmental literacy.
Tania is a contributor to The Carbon Almanac and The Carbon Almanac Podcast Network.
She also contributed to a chapter on visual storytelling for climate science communication in Storytelling to Accelerate Climate Solutions (in press).
