My story

From my hometown of Kyiv, Ukraine, my childhood was shaped by weeks-long caving expeditions with a local children’s caving club. I would look across the landscape and wonder what had formed the caves below and the terrain above. That curiosity gradually grew into a desire to understand the world from every angle - how ecosystems function, how communities live within them, and how enterprises serve those communities.

Dima did an outstanding job helping NPCA better understand the biodiversity credit market and whether it was a good fit for us as a conservation organization. Because Dima is so well cultured, he is a natural convener and broker for science-based conservation planning among partners and stakeholders. During his work with NPCA he also traveled to the site of a national park unit where various members of this project had congregated.
