SPEAKER_06: Hi, I'm Alisandra Tejeda. I'm one of the writers and producers behind Womanica. I'm also a writer on As She Rises, another Wonder Media Network show. As She Rises is about personalizing the elusive magnitude of climate change through the power of poetry and the stories of climate activists. Our second season brings together stories of success and hope in climate action. I hope you tune in for the last episode of the season coming out on Friday. I often think about what it takes for people to fight for a better world and how they keep going, which is why I'm excited to guest host this episode for our EcoWarriors Month. Today, we're talking about the grandmother of the conservation movement. Driven by her love of learning and the great outdoors, she helped create the Arctic National Refuge in the land we know as Alaska. Let's talk about Mardi Nuri. Margaret Elizabeth Thomas was born on August 18th, 1902 in Seattle, Washington. After her parents divorced and her mother remarried, she relocated with her mother to Fairbanks, Alaska. While her mother had some difficulty adjusting to the solitude of their new home, Margaret, or Mardi as she was often called, thrived. She enjoyed exploring her new surroundings and often ventured into the nearby forests. Her youth was full of adventure. Despite her love for Alaska, Mardi initially went to college elsewhere. She spent two years at Reed College in Oregon, then a year at Simmons College in Boston before returning to Alaska. She completed her degree in business administration at what is now known as the University of Alaska in 1924. Mardi was the first woman to graduate from the school. That same year, she married a biologist named Olas Muri. For their honeymoon, they did what all nature lovers do. They embarked on a 500-mile caribou search trip traveling by boat and dog sled. When asked later about their unconventional way of life, she replied, my answer to that is, always to think of all the things I didn't have to do, like go to the bridge parties or answer the phone or wax the floor. When they started having kids, Olas and Mardi simply brought them along on the next adventure. In 1927, Olas was assigned by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to study elk populations in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Mardi and their kids came too. They purchased a dude ranch that has since become a national historic landmark. Mardi kept busy in Jackson Hole, organizing victory gardens, exploring the Tetons, and diving deeper into conservation efforts. When Olas became president of the Wilderness Society, Mardi became a council member. She also helped found the Teton Science Schools. Though Mardi and Olas never moved back to Alaska, they often returned on trips, and Mardi never lost her connection to the place she grew up in. She began dreaming of an official Arctic refuge in her home state. In the late 1950s, Mardi and Olas, along with the zoologist George Schaller, went on an expedition together. They went to the Brooks Range in Alaska to explore the viability of federal protection for the region. With the help of former Supreme Court Justice William Douglas, Mardi convinced then-president Dwight Eisenhower to devote eight million acres for preservation. In 1960, the Arctic National Wildlife Range was established. Just a few years later, in 1963, Olas passed away. Shortly after his death, Mardi helped pass the 1964 Wilderness Act. It allowed Congress to designate certain areas as federally protected land. Mardi was in attendance at the White House when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the act into law. Mardi, in her later years, began receiving international acclaim for her work. In 1980, she received the Audubon Medal. A few years later, she was presented with the John Muir Award of the Sierra Club, and in 1986, she was awarded with a Presidential Medal of Freedom. For Mardi, preserving the wilderness was imperative to life. She said, wilderness itself is the basis of all our civilization. I wonder if we have enough reverence for life to concede to wilderness the right to live on. In 2003, Mardi died in her log cabin near Grand Teton National Park. She was 101 years old.
