Amber Reimondo was born and raised in a small boom-and-bust coal and natural gas town in southwest Wyoming. She holds a master’s degree in environmental science and policy from Northern Arizona University. Amber spent her early career working with conservative lawmakers and regulators on oil and gas-related environmental issues in Wyoming. She came to the Grand Canyon Trust in 2016 and has since worked with tribes, community leaders, and nonprofit partners to end uranium mining in the Grand Canyon region. In that time, Amber has testified before congressional committees twice and has had the great honor of working in support of the 13 tribes of the Grand Canyon Tribal Coalition. She has forged strong working relationships with impacted Indigenous community leaders who graciously teach her about their resilience and the challenges they face every day protecting their homelands, their communities, and their ways of life. Amber lives in Durango, Colorado with her husband and young son.
“My lot has been cast with the simple wonders of the world. You cannot buy the light flashing from a rainbow’s side in limpid waters. There is no price on the hoot of an owl from dusky woods at eventide. You can only experience a coyote by hearing his howl.”
