Brina Sotenšek

The doors of the LUTRA Institute are always at least ajar, if not wide open for educated and well-informed people, fighters for nature, who, because of their upright posture, cannot survive in the services of state bodies and institutions. Brina is like that too. She was dismissed from an institution that, by its official duty, should take care of the preservation of fish species and their natural habitats, inland waters. What she was not allowed to do before during her working hours is now most often on her schedule: efforts to preserve rivers without dams, but with all the biodiversity. Currently, she also works as the coordinator of the Za Savo (For Sava) group. Volunteering and working in non-governmental organizations is in her blood, whether it’s helping people – asylum seekers or rhinos in an African national park. Since rhinos are not very common in Slovenia, she was also happy about the beavers and the related field and communication work on the LIFE project. Visitors to Lutra’s stands and workshops for young and old were also delighted by her, as she is always friendly and ready to explain and help. Time will tell if the beavers are also happy about it …
