Defenders Of The Deep Europe’s Secret Eden: Polesia
An inspiring story of the personal resilience it takes for Polesia - a wilderness without borders that spans
a life lived on the frontline of conservation activism. Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. It’s currently under
Greenpeace boat driver, Jetske Nagtglas, recounts threat from a planned industrial waterway linking the
her experiences fighting whaling in Antarctica and Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. This involves dredging
her unique encounters with the animals she’s saving. 2000km of riverbed and stirring up radioactive silt
which settled after Chernobyl, which could poison
the water supply of 20 million people living in Ukraine’s
capital Kiev. The issue has gathered attention, and
the resistance of international organisations and
local people. Uniting everyone’s voices to spread
awareness about this secluded region can turn its
fate around.
