People who make Greenpeace
Our team is working for Greenpeace Ukraine to advocate green reconstruction, showcase the best recovery solution, and monitor the nuclear threats.
Natalia Gozak, Office Director of Greenpeace Ukraine
Natalia Gozak has had a love for nature and animals since childhood. At school, she adored biology and was fascinated by the way all life on the planet works. Following the call of her heart, Natalia entered the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy to study ecology and has since co-founded several well-known environmental organizations in Ukraine. She has worked for the United Nations Development Program, Ecoaclub Green Wave, WWF Ukraine, Ecoaction, and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). Today, Natalia is developing Greenpeace’s office in Ukraine and, while her family is defending our country, she dedicates herself to stopping the destruction of nature and ensuring that future generations of Ukrainians can live on a healthy planet.
Veronika Kazina, Project Coordinator
Veronika coordinates the Integrated Dnipro River Vision in Ukraine. Previously, she worked at a university, an informational center on climate change, and an international company to create valuable products in those fields. She wanted to do more for the environment, as we don’t have a Planet B. That’s why working at Greenpeace allows her to use all her skills and expertise from over 10 years in management, marketing, and communications to protect and be the voice of the Earth.

Tetiana is convinced that competent communication is the key to success in any business.
