A day in EU parliament


reshared this

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.

thank you for giving us a little peek into what happens inside these institutions, that was very insightful.




@Tio I am sure you will like it :)

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

That's a very good news. I hope you get more exposure. How did it happened? You contacted them, or they reached to you? Will they also help you financially a bit so you can continue your project?
They had an application form on their website, where you could apply.
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.



Sea Turtle Rescuers Illegally Evicted - https://videos.trom.tf/w/iVedLTb1FPhTUb1nr1bTFx

@Dima does a fantastic job at highlighting the good people that still live in this backwards trade society and why they are struggling to do the good things that they do. Imagine doing good things like saving turtles, and not only that you are not helped in this society, but face many roadblocks.

Dima keep on doing your important work! Your videos are much needed for everyone to understand the struggle the volunteers have to face, but also to understand that people are motivated to do good things. We just have to enable that by helping them.

If people had access to at least their basic needs as trade-free, we would see a lot of change happening.

Sperm Whales Expedition in Turkey


https://videos.trom.tf/w/4dUtSdFqhS5hBHniU5dDMG


What it Takes to Find a Sperm Whale in Turkey ?


I've joined Whales and Dolphins Research Expedition organized by organization DMAD. The project called " Giant Guardians Of The Deep Seas" the aim of survey is to scan all Eastern Mediterranean part of Turkey for cetaceans. My position was drone pilot and to find sperm whales there was not an easy task.

Such researches are very important and necessary both for scientific purposes and conservation. Unfortunately as it often happens such projects lack funding. And right now further surveys under questions because of not enough money to cover the expenses.

Ok people, the documentary is finally available. Please keep your expectations low and keep in mind that this documentary is made mostly by one human being, with limited resources. We have not used any stock footage (except maybe 2-3) so everything you'll see is real and genuine.

Very cruel....


In October I've been in Montenegro where I joined DMAD - Marine Mammals Research Association to do a Bottlenose Dolphin Research. Here is the video about the experience. We've been lucky to encounter several dolphins and film them from the air.

European Rivers Summit


In October 2022 I've took a part in the European Rivers Summit in Brussels. Event was organized by Wetlands International.
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.

So what is a green energy? Because you need energy to live? With what green energy we must fix energy crisis??


Taking Care of Nature while working in Diving


During summer I managed to clean a lot of debris and ghost nets underwater. Also I can see huge difference between protected marine parks and just regular dive sites. Here is the video about my experience. Maybe someone will find it useful.
https://youtu.be/RzVUYwodjsE
Great to hear that you also tried diving !
You should do your open water for sure ! Then one day we could dive all together!

Yeah Croatia is very similar like L'estartit, but the same as I said in video it's very over fished and deserted. It's awesome that Illes Medes are protected area
Yup that's why I want to do it so then I can dive with you guys too 😀 - the course is only 5 days so is fast. But you need to come here for the dive so we can see more stuff. It is interesting that this area where I live is quite protected and has so much marine life. I didn't know all that before you guys started to dive.
