On a Mission
Earth Day 2000 Print Now you see him, now you don't! What's one of the most difficult animal to observe in the wild? For Carl Brenders, that dubious honor goes to the playful river otter:
"The most frustrating thing in my career was always the fieldwork with river otters. Those nervous and playful guys never sit still; it seems that their mission is to enjoy themselves. While studying two tame otters in Oregon, I gave up the battle and instead chose to join them. Swimming together with such animals in an unforgettable experience. "The increase or decrease of the river otter is an important sign for the health of our planet. Otters cannot live in polluted water, and it should be our mission to protect them. That is why I chose the river otter as the subject for the Earth day print of the year 2000." - Carl Brenders
