In high school, I created my own animal welfare club and became president of the UBC Animal Welfare Club while completing my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Animal Biology. During my time at UBC, I received a Mitacs Globalink Research Award to develop a 3-month pilot study on a community stray dog program in Brazil. This research ignited my passion for community-level research, which led me to pursue a Master’s Degree in Geography at the University of Guelph. My research focused on perceptions of gender dynamics in small-scale fisheries and conservation areas in the floating villages of Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake. It was through this experience that I fell in love with forests and the role of communities in shaping conservation. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Why forests are important to me\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan> Personally, forests are a place where I seek solace, contemplate, and reconnect with nature.

We are bridging worlds that need healing and creating ideas that go beyond the present moment to deeper roots. I believe nature isn't separate from us — it is us — and this drives my work. I have always looked for work that is this meaningful to me, and Canopy broke all records!\u003C/span>\u003Cspan data-ccp-props=\"{"134233117":true,"134233118":true}\"> \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cspan data-contrast=\"auto\">Why Forests Are Important to Me\u003C/span>\u003C/b>\u003Cspan> \u003Cbr />\u003C/span>\u003Cspan data-contrast=\"auto\">Ursula K. Le Guin says it all in the title of one beautiful novel: \"The Word for World is Forest.\" We must learn from the forest and its interdependence and respect for all creatures how to nurture life rather than destroy it. I was born between the temperate rainforests of southern Chile and the vast Pacific Ocean, and I carry this deep connection always in my heart and in my mind’s eye.\u003C/span>\u003Cspan data-ccp-props=\"{"134233117":true,"134233118":true}\"> \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cspan data-contrast=\"auto\">Why Canopy\u003C/span>\u003C/b>\u003Cspan> \u003Cbr />\u003C/span>\u003Cspan data-contrast=\"auto\">I was attracted to joining Canopy because it really does punch above its weight, tackling systems change rather than merely addressing symptoms. What inspires me is how we question fundamentals: Why cut life-giving trees for disposable packaging and clothing? How can we reimagine our relationship with forests? I love that Canopy is all about strategic collaboration, recognizing we must all be part of the solution because we're all part of the problem. We partner with companies to create meaningful environmental change and work with donors to cocreate paths for healing our planet. I heard somewhere that Canopy's founder created this organization when she realized she could no longer protect forests by hugging just one tree — we need to embrace entire forests. And ever since then Canopy has been building those embraces. This practical yet visionary approach captures my heart.\u003C/span>\u003Cspan data-ccp-props=\"{"134233117":true,"134233118":true}\"> \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Cspan data-contrast=\"auto\">Ask Me About\u003C/span>\u003C/b>\u003Cspan> \u003Cbr />\u003C/span>\u003Cspan data-contrast=\"auto\">Whether we can build a better world (yes, but only together and by recognizing we are nature and we are animals).

As part of Canopy, I’m committed to keeping our forests standing tall‌ — ‌because, like the Scarlet Ibis, you can’t get more passionate, more vibrant, more free, or more Trini than that.\u003C/span>\u003C/span>\u003C/p>",{"id":1332,"_modelApiKey":629,"__typename":630,"cFirstname":1333,"cLastname":1334,"cSlug":1335,"cJobTitle":1336,"cEmail":430,"cPhone":430,"cEmailMedia":430,"cPhoneMedia":430,"cOriginalId":321,"cImage":1337,"cBioLong":1344,"cSocialMediaLinkedin":1345,"cSocialMediaX":430,"cSocialMediaInstagram":430,"cCategory":1346,"cTeam":1347,"cAlteregoName":1348,"cAlteregoImg":1349,"cAlteregoText":1358},"TTzo8EbhQRSOgR8zMSayGw","Miki  ","Tokashiki ","miki-tokashiki","Next Gen Supply Chain Manager",{"id":1338,"alt":321,"title":321,"focalPoint":1339,"width":994,"height":995,"responsiveImage":1340,"blurUpThumb":1341,"url":1342,"mimeType":445,"format":459,"filename":1343},"MRyEoTQ7TeuUw5JszEGdyA",{"x":420,"y":420},{"base64":1341},"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAoHBwgHBgoICAgLChQLDhgXFRkVDh0ODhUOFxcdHRYTFhUmHysjGh0oHRUWJDUlKC0vMjIyGSI4PTcwPCsxMi8BCgsLDg4OEAwQHC8cFhwvLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vL//AABEIABkAEAMBIgACEQEDEQH/xAAZAAACAwEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEBQMGBwL/xAAgEAACAgICAgMAAAAAAAAAAAABAgQFAAM1kRQhBhIT/8QAFQEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAP/xAAYEQADAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAERIBIv/aAAwDAQACEQMRAD8AuE7b48IhRgFfOfehUDJZ1tBKlGYYqr/kVdHllPsuRfQhZJnNhb7GsPzGw94qEp1s/ew95zL5bBn5LLLKDVsn/9k=","https://www.datocms-assets.com/132613/1746637528-mikitokashiki.jpg","mikitokashiki.jpg","\u003Cp>\u003Cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"EN-CA\" lang=\"EN-CA\" class=\"TextRun SCXW215714774 BCX0\">\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215714774 BCX0\">Miki works at the intersection of creativity, business, and sustainable innovation.

She began as an activist dedicated to saving the Great Bear Rainforest and, after the initial success of getting conservation measures in place, turned her attention to protecting South East Asian rainforests and improving the wood manufacturing industry in China, challenging illegal and unsustainable fishing globally, and shifting energy interests in Japan away from nuclear and coal to more responsible sources. Tamara oversees all aspects of our diverse campaign portfolio as Canopy’s Campaigns Director.\u003Cbr />\u003Cbr />\u003Cstrong>More About Me\u003C/strong> \u003Cbr />\u003Cbr />As an activist with a background in journalism, I grew up as a campaigner on the Great Bear, standing with First Nations defending their lands from destructive logging and urging major players in the market to use their influence to help protect the rainforest. My international experience is extensive, gained primarily from working with Greenpeace, and has helped me become more sensitized to cultural, social, and market differences among us. But the one common thread that binds us together is our love for the planet and its creatures, and a shared desire to live a life connected to our communities and our forests and seas. I feel so incredibly fortunate to contribute to making this a reality.\u003Cbr />\u003Cbr />\u003Cstrong>Why forests are important to me\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr />\u003Cbr />I’ve visited some of the most majestic forests on the planet – the Amazon, the Boreal, the tropical rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia, and the ever-gorgeous Great Bear. I know scientifically how important intact forests are for biodiversity and for maintaining a stable climate. But on a personal level, being in forests lets me breathe more easily and restores my soul. The Japanese even have a term for it – forest-bathing, or shinrin-yoku 森林浴 — and my plan is that we all get to forest-bathe for the rest of our lives.\u003Cbr />\u003Cbr />\u003Cstrong>Why Canopy\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr />\u003Cbr />Canopy does phenomenal work that I’ve followed and admired for years.

After studying ecological restoration and natural resource management in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, and studying abroad in the tropical bastion of Belize, I headed to Indonesia to work with Orangutan Foundation International. Since then, I have worked at Rainforest Action Network, California Environmental Voters, and Greenpeace USA. I’ve now worked in nearly every area of fundraising, and I love connecting people to causes. As a grant officer, I use my passion for the environment to translate Canopy’s work into compelling stories and paint the picture of how supply chain transformation can lead to real, tangible, and positive change‌ — ‌and how foundations can help partner with us to make this a reality. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003Cstrong>Why forests are important to me \u003C/strong>\u003Cbr />\u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was young, I was told about the beautiful splendour and diversity of the rainforests.

This struck my little soccer-player's heart as a grave injustice, and I knew then that I wanted to learn more. More about forests, yes, but also about people and politics and economics‌ — ‌all the things that make society tick and can help spell the path to viable solutions forward. I believe strongly that we should share this planet‌ — ‌humans are only one small part of a larger whole, after all, and we should not let our actions harm others. Because this world is a beautiful, magical place. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003Cstrong>Why Canopy\u003C/strong> \u003Cbr />\u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canopy gets it.

Nothing makes your personal problems feel smaller than stepping into an old-growth forest and sizing them up against a 400-year-old tree. Growing up on Vancouver Island, I would take my Magic Faraway Tree books into the forest and see what kind of imaginative and enchanted adventures I could have.

Jenn comes with 10 years of bookkeeping and financial management experience in the corporate sector. For Jenn, advocating for what she believes in has been an inevitable journey of passion and heart. It used to just mean engaging people in uncomfortably heated conversations, donating to responsible organizations, and helping those in need.

It’s also quite a mouthful to tote these things at the top of some “list”, and I believe I must follow through with what I say, re-assess how I am doing so, and address mistakes I make along the way. To balance out all that seriousness, my favourite thing in the world is to laugh. It may not sound like it, but I refuse to take myself too seriously unless the moment calls for it.
