Upoznajte djevojku koja se skida iz humanih razloga (FOTO)

Bivša cheerleadersica Marlina Moreno (24) je pokrenula sopstvenu fondaciju koja pomaže divljim i egzotičnim životinjama širom svijeta. U toku dana ona studira biologiju, a noću se skida u striptiz klubovima. Novcem od tezgi plaća svoja putovanja u Afriku.

Since I was a young girl I have been fascinated with primates & if anyone ever asked “chimps” were always my favorite species. It was this animal that sparked in me a passion for wildlife & it's conservation which has inspired me to trek down the path I am on- and this picture says it all. I began my time here in Uganda at the Wildlife Education Center where I met my childhood love for the first time in the exact moment captured here. Like so many others these orphaned chimps are the product of habitat loss and illegal poaching… My heart just breaks to think this incredible species which is so much like you & me has suffered such a great deal because of humans. I feel beyond blessed & honored to help share their story in the coming months in hope it will inspire even one person to consider how their demands impact these magnificent beings. With that it is only fitting that tomorrow, for the last leg of my trip, I venture to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary to film the project's amazing story & close out this journey in the same spirit it began ??

Marlina je nekada bila i manekenka, ali glamurozni život rado zamijenila džunglom, u koju je prvi put otišla prije tri godine. Tada je prestala da bude cheerleadersica.

It is our obligation to speak on their behalf ensuring their well-being and lives are respected and protected. -Sylvia Dolson ??Photo by: @peterhogel #ProjectConservation #Wildlife #Nature #Conservation #WildlifeConservation

Nedavno je osnovala “Pink Monkey Media”, kompaniju koja pravi dokumentarce o konzervaciji u divljini.

Za tri godine je posjetila osam država u Aziji, Africi i Južnoj Americi, a posljednja destinacija joj je bio Borneo u Indoneziji gdje je radila sa orangutanima.

“Oduvijek sam željela da putujem na egzotična mjesta, ali nisam imala novca. Imala sam skromno djetinjstvo i nismo mnogo putovali. Put kojim idem posljednjih par godina mi je omogućio da se udam za divljinu i dokumentarce koje pravim. To mi je promijenilo život. Taj stil života je mnogo drugačiji, ali je nejverovatan. Kada se nalazim u džungli bez šminke, ljudi ne očekuju da polugola igram u noćnim klubovima kod kuće. A kada igram u Americi, ljudi su iznenađeni kada čuju da putujem i provodim mjesece u divljini”, kaže Marlina. Ona kaže da su reakcije ljudi na ono što radi jako zanimljivo, posebno zbog predrasuda koje svi imaju. “U meni vide lijepu djevojku i odmah pomisle da trošim mnogo para na izgled i da sam materijalista”, kaže ona.

Ona otkriva da je u srcu oduvijek bila kao dječak.

“Mrzim šminku i brijanje nogu. Ja zapravo nisam ženstvena. Odrasla sam na farmi gdje sam jahala konje po prostranstvima i uvijek sam bila okružena životinjama. Nikada nisam planirala ples, to se samo desilo, ali je odlično polazište i uspjela sam da spojim dva potpuno različita svijeta”, kaže ona.

The shoebill stork is probably the coolest bird species I've had the pleasure of meeting. In order to get aquatinted I had to clap my hands like they were a beak, make shoebill sounds & shake my head up & down just like him ?? cc: @peterhogel #shoebill #africa #uganda #conservation #wildlife #nature #ecotourism #ecotravel
