Hannah Emde

Wildlife Veterinarian, Wildlife Conservationist, Author and TV Presenter

Hannah Emde (*1992) is a licensed veterinarian and passionate conservationist - and at home in the world's jungles. She passes on her knowledge in lectures, in print media, on radio and television and via social media. Since April 2024, she presents the ZDF series "Terra X: Fascination Earth". In 2017, Hannah and a team of experts founded the non-profit organisation "Nepada Wildlife e.V.", which is committed to global nature and species conservation as well as environmental education in Germany. As a veterinarian, Hannah Emde has worked all over the world - for example for a research project on lemurs in Madagascar, for a species conservation project with bull sharks in Costa Rica, to protect wild macaws in Guatemala, and she assisted in various research projects in the rainforest of Borneo/Malaysia. Her first book was published in 2020: "Abenteuer Artenschutz". From 2021 to 2023, she was employed as a veterinarian and consultant in a One Health project at the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and supported the establishment of the "International Alliance against Health Risks in Wildlife Trade". In February 2022, her 6-part documentary TV series Hannah goes wild went online in the ARD Mediathek, in which Hannah Emde meets people who are committed to species conservation in Namibia. Since April 2024, she has been the new presenter of the ZDF series Terra X: Fascination Earth. Hannah Emde is a much sought-after expert on the topics of species conservation and biodiversity and a welcome guest on TV and radio. In her talks, she enthusiastically reports on the beauty of the jungle, talks about her work in the most remote places in the world and vividly conveys why exotic animal species such as clouded leopards, black rhinos and mountain gorillas are so endangered - and what this has to do with us. Hannah raises awareness of the loss of biodiversity and shows how much human well-being is linked to an intact natural environment and healthy animals - and what each and every one of us can do to preserve habitats for animals and humans.
