Paloma Pacheco

Paloma’s writing and reporting on art, culture, social issues, and humans’ relationship to the natural world have appeared in multiple publications. She’s currently an assistant editor at The Narwhal, a non-profit, reader-funded environmental magazine. “One of the strongest female figures in my life was my grandmother, who passed away in 2022,” she says. “She was a shy and mild-mannered woman, but her strength lay in her unconditional love for her family, and her great reserves of care for animals and the natural world.”
