“Icelandic and Norwegian businessmen” have “started buying aquaculture farms in the majority of our fjords almost ten years ago” with “almost no regulation“, deplores Björk on her social networks. The artist denounces again “devastating effects on wildlife“and”farmed fish” Who “suffer from terrible health conditions“.”Since many of them escaped, they began to alter the DNA of Icelandic salmon for the worse, which could lead to its extinction.“

Help “save the last wild salmon in the North”

Björk believes that there “still has a chance to save the last wild salmon in the North“The star would like to oblige.”these businessmen to withdraw their farms“but above all”helping to invent and implement strict regulations in Iceland’s legal system to protect nature“. The singer would like to set a precedent based on the case of “inhabitants of Seyðisfjörður fjord“, in eastern Iceland, which “protested against the start of aquaculture at home“.”We would like to donate sales of the song to help cover their legal costs, and hope this can serve as an example for others.“

Björk’s commitment to environmental causes has long been known. His recent shows ended, before the encore, with a video message from climate activist Greta Thunberg. When AFP spoke with her in June, the artist said: “It would be better to have more ‘green’ options“.”I was hoping Elon Musk and his tech friends would make electric tour buses or boats with motors powered by wind and sun for touring musicians. Could you pass the message on to Elon Musk?“
