Global Conservation is producing a new short film: Queen of the Carpathians is an imagined conservation story about a young Ukrainian woman named Lydia who fights illegal logging, wildlife poaching, hunting, development and pollution to save her beloved natural heritage.
Harmonious coexistence with nature is a core piece of 16-year-old Lydia's philosophy. She lives far from noisy and crowded metropolises, in the ancient forests of the Carpathians -- a place where she feels connected to untouched nature, wild forests, and clean air and rivers.
However, one day her idyllic vision is challenged when she sees how some people brutally cut down forests, pollute the environment and kill wildlife. Then, her fight for nature conservation begins. From lonely pickets to crowded protests, Lydia leads the movement to preserve the forests she loves.
