« Maintaining the tropical forests of our planet is a priority and a task that we all need to support. We must focus on biodiversity, which still seems to exist in the untouched forests of the tropics, before it is too late. That's why I like to support the Foundation "Art for Tropical Forest", which helps to enable swift action. »

Ecology is an issue very close to my heart. I think it’s important to remember that, as someone once said, “we don’t inherit the world from our fathers, we borrow it from our children”. Therefore, we need to rethink our relationship with the planet and respect - through thoughts and actions - its biodiversity. Urgently. That is also why I appreciate and support Art for Tropical Forests Foundation.
