Health and Ecosystems: Cynthia Nichols is an RN Care Manager who also has a Conservation Biology background and a deep passion for and understanding of how natural ecosystems support animals and the planet.  Seeing how people’s health is also directly connected to a healthy planet and impacted by things like air pollution, extreme heat or cold, changing ecosystems, and extreme weather, Cynthia recognized that she could bring both passions together. Her hope is to help mitigate climate impacts and contribute to more resilient, equitable, and environmentally friendly communities.
