Kate Amilton is a Swiss journalist from Bern with a French-speaking cultural background. After studying literature at UNIL in Lausanne, she joined the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and spent two intense years visiting prisons in conflict zones. Later, she shifted to hands-on environmental missions with Greenplanet. Deeply affected by what she witnessed during her humanitarian work, she now dedicates herself entirely to environmental protection. Not radical but deeply concerned, she has seen firsthand the consequences of global warming. Her main focus is fighting pollution. Passionate about ocean diving and long-distance cycling, her writing is sharp, committed, and grounded in real-world experience.
