First post here in which I'll give a small introduction of myself.
I'm a watercolour and linoprint artist inspired by nature.
I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and find most of my nature treasures during my walks at the Amsterdam Forest

#FlashbackFriday
2020.

I was invited to go on a #flotilla #protest led by #IndigenousChiefs & leaders from the North Island in late 2019 - we went in March of 2020. To stop 2 open net fish farms, in the #DiscoveryIslands archipelago, from restocking their pens. These fish farms are remote & they don't want public to access them. No restocking was able to happen on day we went on flotilla protest & patrol.

I've been a part of the battle here to get #FishFarmsOut for over a decade. There's finally some progress but we need to still keep up the pressure on federal & provincial governments.
#SaveWildSalmon because they're a #KeystoneSpecies & if we lose them, it sets off chain reactions in both #ocean & #OldGrowthForest #ecosystems. Wild salmon are extremely important to the Indigenous peoples of BC & the fight to protect them goes back decades.

Always put #WildFirst ✊️

Drone shot of our large fishing boat used in flotilla. We have assorted protest signs on it & we're holding up signs too. The Discovery Island archipelago is behind us, in ocean & mountains background.

#MonochromeMonday

I'm the happiest & feel most at home, when in midst of nature. I talk to more trees, plants, fungi & wildlife than I talk to humans. It's a personal choice. I love nature very much. I do my best to try to protect what I love the most in the world. I believe we should always do our personal best to protect what we love most in this shared world.

We can't really fail, when we try our best to protect what we love ❤️💚❤️💚

#MosstodonMonday

Mossy trees, in coastal temperate rainforest, by a quiet, isolated spot beside a lovely fish bearing creek. The air smells amazing in this natural environment 💚

#MonochromeMonday

This is not progress.
This is not civilized.
We need to protect remaining #OldGrowth #AncientForests. They're our 2nd largest #CarbonSinks - after the giant kelp forests in the oceans. #Clearcutting forests should be banned.
