Hannah (Clements) Goldblatt BA ’15, JD ’20 writes: “I am enjoying life in Portland, Oregon, working as a staff attorney at Advocates for the West. Advocates for the West is a pro bono law firm that protects and defends public lands, wildlife, fish, and waterways across the West on behalf of conservation groups and tribes. In my role, I have advocated to protect the winter habitat of endangered southern mountain caribou and other imperiled species; brought litigation over harmful pesticide spraying in western desert ecosystems; worked to stop a four-lane high-speed highway from being constructed through a National Conservation Area in southern Utah; and am staying busy fighting to safeguard air quality, water, and wildlife from a massive oil and gas development project in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. In the wake of increasing climate change-driven catastrophes, I am motivated to do what I can to ensure a just and sustainable future for our planet as well as its human and nonhuman inhabitants.”
