Ecojustice Staff Scientist: Susan Pinkus
“I see it as my job to make sure that government decisions about the environment are based on good science, and that scientific advice isn’t diluted or compromised.”
Susan joined Ecojustice in early 2007 as a staff scientist and became an integral member of the team by providing expertise on habitat protection for Canada’s plants and animals, particularly endangered species such as the piping plover, Nooksack dace and greater sage-grouse.
