Hannah Emde

With brown hair and brown eyes, Hannah Emde presents a calm, observant presence in front of the camera. She is 33 years old, German, and Caucasian, with an average build. Her work spans careers as an author, TV host, veterinarian, and species conservationist.

Born in Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia, she first gained attention in 2017 when she and a team of specialists founded the non-profit association Nepada Wildlife e. V., dedicated to global nature and species conservation as well as environmental education in Germany. The association is named after the Sunda clouded leopard, an extremely rare and endangered big cat. In 2020, she published her first book, "Abenteuer Artenschutz. Als Tierärztin im Dschungel" (Adventure Conservation. A Veterinarian in the Jungle), with Malik Verlag. A revised and updated edition appeared in 2024 under the title "Nachtschicht mit Aras" (Night shift with macaws). In February 2022, her six-part documentary series "Hannah goes wild" went online in the ARD Mediathek, in which she meets people in Namibia who work to protect species.

From 2021 to 2023, she worked as a veterinarian and consultant on a One Health project at the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), supporting the establishment of the "International Alliance against Health Risks in Wildlife Trade." Since April 2024, she has been presenting the ZDF series "Terra X: Faszination Erde."
