Merel
My name is Merel van der Mark, and I'm 23. I'm Dutch but
I grew up in Portugal and therefore speak Portuguese, which
is very useful in Brazil! I have been a Greenpeace volunteer
since I began my Biology studies four years ago. I have
been involved in several actions like blocking big fish
trawlers and pumping up radioactive seawater and shipping
it back to the Netherlands.
Having the chance to work together with the Deni and really
save a piece of rainforest is very special and I really
look forward to it!
The Amazon is too beautiful and precious to let it be destroyed.
By helping the Deni with demarcating their land, we are
saving a piece of it.
