Viral videos that made an impact

Video Viral de Verdederos, Roatán, Honduras

Roatán island, Honduras

After publishing a video denouncing animal abuse in a so-called eco-park, local authorities permanently shut down the place.
It was a powerful reminder that empathy and responsible exposure can save lives.

Our viral video about wastewater being dumped into the sea reached government officials, who launched investigations and corrective measures to protect the marine ecosystem.

Misha, European Climate Ambassador

This year, Misha has taken on a new role as a Climate Ambassador*, certified by the European climate initiative DG CLIMA.


This position represents a unique opportunity to raise environmental awareness, promote sustainable solutions, and build collaborative networks across Europe.

As part of this mission, the project focuses on European Union countries, aiming to:

✅ Raise awareness about climate change and environmental challenges.
✅ Take direct action through cleanups, workshops, and hands-on sustainability initiatives.
✅ Collaborate with local organizations and communities to amplify impact.
✅ Inspire people across Europe to take steps toward a more sustainable future.

 

Through this initiative, we are not just traveling — we are on a journey of action, education, and community-driven impact.

* This role is carried out in a personal capacity, contributing to the goals of the European Climate Pact, independently and not as a direct representation of the European Commission.
