Debut author Ian Hunt has worked in conservation throughout the Sierra Mountains and held jobs planting trees in wildfire burn scars, maintaining backcountry trails, conserving water, hardening homes for fires, planting native habitats, and cultivating edible landscapes.

He earned his MA in Climate and Society from the Columbia University Climate School, and he now resides in Brooklyn, where he is an advocate for climate education and climate action. Outside of work within climate and energy justice, Hunt writes freelance, most of which is concentrated on his blog. 

His first book with Adventure Publications is Climate Action for Kids and is coming out in April 2026.
