By profession I am an architect. My commitment to nature conservation & protection is closely related to my profession as an architect. For me it is the ambience that determines the architecture, not the other way around. After a short taster course in the position of the deputy mayor of my birth town Ulcinj, in May 2016 together with the former ambassador Gudrun Steinacker and Friends we founded the Dr Martin Schneider-Jacoby Association (MSJA) with the aim to support and promote the protection of the Ulcinj Salina at the local level. Since than our organisation is working active in raising awareness and together with the #SaveSalina Project partners Euronatur, Czip, Birdlife and Tour du Valat and the financial support of the MAVA Foundation we achieved to at least get the Ulcinj Salina foramly protected.
