Discovering wildlife of the Carpathian Mountains
Few weeks ago together with Mara we went to Romania to stay for a few days in a wildlife hides to see some animals, especially bears! The cool thing that the hides are managed by conservation NGO Carpathia and all of the profits goes into the conservation of wildlife and ecosystem of Fagarash Mountains. This video is my experience of staying for a few days in the mountains and seeing wild animals.

Interesting to read about your experience there. And I am not surprised. Politicians talk so much and many times say nothing. But it is good to try these waters and see how it is. Maybe at least you can find others who participate there, who are from some orgs and who do stuff.
So how are they helping you at the end of the day? Do they give you access to something? Projects? Funds? A platform?
I think that small changes are very good ofc, and are the ones that are still possible, but for sure we need much bigger changes and I am quite skeptical that they will come from these normal institutions. But maybe others can get in and influence some of their views. Maybe...
So I am curious how youll continue there. It is for sure worth a try at least.
Whats your next project?
yes, i was discouraged by this politics. Only small things are possible without changing the whole system. Patchworks. But since no clue how to change the system, patchworks is something is worth doing anyway, rather dreaming. So I don't have much aspiration to follow political career right now, maybe when I am 65 then I can sit and talk, that's probably would be the right time :)
But sure, I will experiment more...
Right now I am about to finish a video about Seals, which I've filmed in Belgium too, right after that conference. Will release it in a few days.
And currently looking for something to do in April, looks like I would go for some rewilding and national parks in balcans, but not certain 100% yet. Still looking for options for the April.

European Climate Pact Ambassador
I have some good news, I've just become official EU Climate Pact Ambassador for Latvia.
What it means basically I became a member of EU initiative to promote ecology, biodiversity, climate issues and solutions in Europe. They have many ambassadors all over EU from all different backgrounds and professions, with all kind of skills. But everyone have a common goal to improve ecology in all possible ways.
From now on I have access to some European Union projects, initiatives and trainings. Also will have a chance to present Be Brave To Act in Euro Parliament in Brussels next year.
Here is the list of all ambassadors if you curios : https://climate-pact.europa.eu/about/meet-our-ambassadors_en

I don't think they will help financially, I am not sure what to expect really, i guess it's more about me having access to several activities they are doing in EU. And also possibility to connect with other similar "activists". Also not sure about exposure, but probably If I will have a short presentation in Brussels then I might get some good contacts or opportunities.

I've met so many inspiring activists, scientists, researchers, policy makers and various experts. In the video featured only some of them.
Hydro-power is not green, it still produce emissions and in some cases even more than the coal plants. At the same time it cost us of millions of aquatic life lost, barriers prevents migration and nutrient flow. And in many case hydro power plant are not producing any significant amount of electricity.
The fact is we must protect rivers ! If you inspired by any of the speakers presented in the video, go and find out about them or their organizations online.

in reply to Dima • • •Very peaceful and nice video and great to see these people doing such good things. Nature is so beautiful and we can learn so much from it. Plus the direct benefit of the ecosystem that we depend on. People are sold bullshit gadgets and holidays to touristic places that's why they have little to no clue how amazing the raw nature is. Imagine if people would spend their free time doing these sort of nature trips for free and nature would be everywhere. They would appreciate it a lot more and not need the bullshit stuff that's advertised.
Those cabins looked amazing - the view, the place, the fact that they were secluded from the rest of the busy bullshit society.
Great to see Mara joining you.

in reply to Tio • •Thank you Tio.
Yeah man, such places are not far from your hometown :)
Agree, people need to spent way more time in the raw nature rather than shopping malls. And surely most of such experiences in the wilderness are for free.
And this cabins are very nice, also because they are managed by conservation NGO they really pay attention to every smallest detail. Of course they don't feed the animals, but they also don't use any chemicals on the wood and walls of such cabins. Normally they will be treated to prevent rotting and protection from ants and other insects. But because such treatment is toxic, they decided not to use it. Kind of small detail, but it shows the values of the guys running this cabins.
And that's what we need to see more in our society.
Also large part of the forest there is restored by this organization. And as you know very well, in Romania illegal logging is quite huge issue.
