About Kinari

Dr. Kinari Webb is a physician and conservationist who founded Health In Harmony after witnessing, while studying orangutans in Indonesia, how illegal logging and community health were deeply intertwined. After earning her MD from Yale and completing her family medicine residency, she launched the non-profit Health In Harmony. She then returned to Indonesia offering healthcare in gratitude for conservation action — a model that cut illegal logging by 90% and improved health, later expanded to Madagascar, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Brazil and Panama. Her method, Radical Listening, centers community wisdom in designing solutions. She is an Ashoka and Rainier Arnhold Fellow, has given three TEDx talks, and has been widely featured in the press. She is the author of Guardians of the Trees and co-author of The Art of Radical Listening.

Kinari was a wonderful collaborator leading up to our event, taking care to craft a message that would resonate with our format and audience. On stage, she brought a gentle ease that commanded the room with warmth and authenticity. Her storytelling skill and clear, measured delivery helped the ideas land deeply. It felt like being around a campfire. I hope our paths cross again!
