Born and raised in British Columbia, she is the youngest daughter of scientist David Suzuki and writer and environmentalist Tara Cullis. A childhood and youth spent steeped in the sea life around Quadra Island, B.C., have given Cullis-Suzuki a passion for science and for protecting the oceans that she says sustain all human life.
