THE YOUNG GIRL AND THE SEA
par ISABELLE RIVOIRE-GRANGE

She could be the heroin of a Hemingway novel. Beautiful Barbara Veiga has actually been a nature defender since her childhood in Brazil. She now travels all around the world to take pictures of eco activists like those on board of the Sea Shepherd. She’s quite an adventurer, facing risky situations, while approaching huge mammals in antarctic or taking part to the fights against Whalers. Thrilling.
But when she speaks about these expeditions the light in her eyes makes you want to pack and join the trip right away, believe me !
Here’s a selection of her beautiful pictures. You probably will be able to recorgnise Paul Watson, one of the founders of GreenPeace. You also might recorgnise Paul Watson in this fabulous episode of South Park entitled « Whale Whores » -this is the french version, I couldn’t connect to the american version-. It’s still hilarious.
Barabara liked the video as well, she speaks french -besides portuguese and english-, by the way. What a girl.
Wildlife is in danger, let’s protect it and spread the information. Whales, dolphins, turtles need our help, and these « lopettes végétariennes incompétentes » from the Sea Shepherd need our support !
