In Russia, Bolshakova Lyudmila Petrovna,
one of the greatest defenders
of Nature in the world:
Orenburg, place of birth of the USSR,
november 12, 1937, Orenburg region,
the city of Akbulak.
She is a wonderful peace-loving person,
her good heart stopped
in august 19, 2021 in Russia in the city
of Orenburg in a house on Turbinnaya street.
This is a huge loss for us, and we will continue
all her peacekeeping activities.
Bolshakova Lyudmila Petrovna, was
the only person in the world who never
advertised her noble activities.
Her departure is a huge loss for the whole world;
today it is very difficult to find such wonderful,
peace-loving people.
Lyudmila Petrovna was an amazingly bright
and kind person, she will live
in our hearts and the bright memory
of her will forever remain in our hearts.
Lyudmila Petrovna all the years urged people
to abandon destructive actions against Nature,
for the sake of saving the Earth and abandon
everything that harms it. Save from destruction,
take care and tenderly take care of your native
Nature. This was her noble motto always and
everywhere, and we, the peace-loving people
of the world, will continue all her noble deeds.
Bolshakova Lyudmila Petrovna was
a follower of Sigridur Thomasdottir,
she was an ardent environmentalist
whose noble deeds helped protect
the Gullfoss waterfalls
from devastating industrialization.
She is widely regarded as
Iceland's first environmentalist.
Her feat was that she lived for Nature
and openly advocated that the real
wonders of Nature should
not be destroyed for commercial purposes.
Sigridur was born in 1871 in the town
of Brattholt in the southwest of Iceland
and grew up on a farm near which
the amazing double waterfall of
Gullfoss was constantly making noise.
In 1907, her father, Thomas Thomasson,
signed a commercial agreement
with British investors to build a hydroelectric
power plant across the Hvita River,
which would have led to the complete
destruction of the landscape.
And she begged her father not to
commit crimes against Nature,
but he disobeyed her daughter.
She sued, Thomasdottir's efforts were
ultimately defeated by bureaucrats.
Thanks to public support, it was possible
to succeed, Sveidn Björnsson became
her lawyer and together secured
a construction ban.
Sigridur Tomasdottir was
determined to prevent this construction
and keep the waterfall in its original
form.
She is considered the first Icelandic
environmentalist to help preserve
the Gullfoss waterfall by protecting
it from industrialization.
Her good heart stopped in 1957,
a sculpture commemorated in her honor
near the Gullfossa waterfall.
Heroic feats of different people then and today,
we are proud of them and they are a real example
for us.
Defenders of Nature call on all mankind to stop
destroying the Earth and forever stop the
extraction of oil, gas, coal, and so on:
In the name of saving mother - Nature.
Long happy years to the peaceful inhabitants
of the World.
Аnd bright memory and low bow to those who
are no longer with us, but they live in our hearts
forever.
Долгих счастливых лет мирным жителям
Мира.
А светлая память и низкий поклон тем,
кого уже нет с нами, но они живут в наших
сердцах вечно.
