“For over 30 years, I've dedicated my free time to researching and actively protecting birds of prey and woodpeckers, driven by a lifelong passion for nature. Currently heading the Danube-Ipoly National Park Directorate, I'm a devoted local patriot in Komárom-Esztergom County. My photography, primarily centered in the Által-ér Valley and Gerecse Mountains, goes beyond a hobby; it's a tool for safeguarding natural values. Collaborating with friends, I organize events like the Tata Goose Festival and Bird and Tree Day, aiming to bring the beauty of everyday wonders closer to the public, complementing regular conservation efforts.”
