Founder
Health in Harmony

Kinari Webb, MD., is a leading figure in rainforest conservation and public health who, recognizing the link between human and environmental health, founded the organization, Health in Harmony (HIH), to address rainforest devastation in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Inspired by studying orangutans in 1993, she returned after graduating from Yale School of Medicine and began work in Sukadana, West Kalimantan, Indonesia in 2007 with a focus on listening to rainforest communities’ own proposed solutions. HIH now works in 9.4 million hectares of rainforest in Indonesia, Madagascar, and Brazil. Honored with Ashoka and Rainier Arhnold Fellowships and profiled in numerous media outlets, Webb's work has garnered international recognition. She is the author of: “Guardians of the Trees: A journey of hope through healing the planet” and co-author (with Rev. Patricia Plude) of: “The Art of Radical listening: Revealing collective wisdom for change.”
