Meet our Leader
Tucker Malarkey is the creator and producer of Live Migrations, a series of live wildlife broadcasts inviting audiences to slow down, pay attention, and experience nature’s great spectacles in real time. A bestselling author of fiction and nonfiction, conservationist, and lifelong student of the natural world, Tucker has built her career around stories that connect people to place, history, and the living world. The idea for Live Migrations began one morning when she clicked on Sweden’s Great Moose Migration. Watching the quiet procession of moose through the northern forests, she realized that the absence of spectacle was the point. The experience was calming, absorbing, and profoundly hopeful—and made her wonder whether other migrations could reach and inspire audiences in the same way. Beginning with Alaska’s great sockeye salmon run, Live Migrations celebrates the rhythms of the natural world while fostering curiosity, stewardship, and connection
