Phil Levin

Phil Levin is a prominent researcher and professor at the University of Washington, known for his work in environmental science and biodiversity. He gained recent attention for his leadership role in the National Nature Assessment, a comprehensive report on the state of nature and biodiversity in the United States, which faced termination due to an executive order from President Donald Trump. Despite this setback, Levin has been vocal about the importance of the research, emphasizing the need to continue the work independently to inform policy and public understanding of environmental issues.
