Valentina Sovkina has shared a Facebook post about Daria Egereva and Natalia Leongardt’s absence from international biodiversity and climate meetings, explicitly directing readers to daria-egereva.org.

The post highlights work that went beyond attending conferences. It describes Daria’s contribution to coordinating Indigenous participation in climate negotiations and work under the Convention on Biological Diversity, alongside Natalia’s practical support for Indigenous participation in international processes.

For our campaign, this is a documented example of the website’s message reaching people through a colleague’s own social network. The post keeps attention on the gap between the women’s longstanding contributions and their continuing detention in Russia.

Sharing verified information with a source link helps keep their work visible and allows new readers to find further updates and ways to express solidarity.
