Allies! Today is my birthday — October 13, 2025. Another year of my life has passed, and it has now been more than 10 years since I fully dedicated myself to the fight for wildlife. The fight for all of us! For our children. And this Mission — it is shared. I have always said that every one of my steps is the work of all those who fight for Life. Every word, every action, every victory, and every defeat.
Only together. Only as a single immune system of humanity, growing stronger and responding to environmental challenges! It brings me great joy and comfort to know and to understand that we are together. That there are many of us! And that we are truly strong.
I am deeply glad that I can live my life honestly, sincerely, and dedicate myself entirely to the greatest Mission on Earth — the fight for wildlife.
Today I want to say a few important words.
We are witnessing total chaos in the world. Governments are tightening their control, and many things — especially problems, and especially criticism of officials — are becoming forbidden. It is difficult to focus public attention on nature protection when people are turned against each other and drawn into social and political conflicts.
But despite all this, we are becoming stronger. That is an objective fact! Yes, not everything works out. Yes, there are many difficulties, and achieving victories is becoming harder and harder. And yes, it is difficult for us to resist a capitalist system that spends millions and billions to suppress civic activity! Even within academic circles, millions are paid only for the kinds of research that serve the interests of big business and power. Yet when it comes to protecting nature and preserving biological systems — no one is in a hurry to fund such research.
It is hard.
But how could it be otherwise? Any piece of steel in the hands of a blacksmith becomes a fine blade, an axe, a sword, or even a shield — only through long and persistent labor. The craftsman tempers the steel with fire and water, between hammer and anvil, until at last there emerges a true work of art — capable of defending, conquering, and protecting.
On my birthday, I want to promise you that I will become even better and stronger! That even if all the systems of the world try to crush and persecute us for protecting nature — I will not retreat. Because behind me stand you, my Allies. And I bear responsibility for all those who have taken upon themselves the Mission to fight for Life and to walk this path with us.
In 2026, we are launching, for the first time, a full-scale international effort. We will fight for nature on a planetary scale — beyond all political and social boundaries! We will strive for real change, unite people, and gain new, truly unprecedented experience.
Wish me good fortune today. Your words and your support help me not to give up and to keep moving forward. I thank you for allowing me to live as a true human being — to be honest, sincere, and strong.

The destruction of nature has become planetary in scale: over the past 50 years, wildlife populations have declined by 73%, forests are being cut down, rivers are polluted, and ecosystems are degrading. The last remaining nature reserves are isolated and increasingly under pressure from states and corporations. To stop this crisis, the global protected-area system must be urgently changed. We propose a concrete plan — the Territories of Full Ecological Tranquility (TFET) — and are setting out on expeditions to develop their future boundaries.
