Björk advocates for specific conservation goals in Iceland

Björk, the famous Icelandic artist, is deeply committed to environmental issues. Her passion is influenced by her mother, who protested against industrial development in Iceland years ago. Björk believes in focusing on achievable conservation goals rather than spreading herself too thin. Despite her global fame, Björk maintains a strong indie spirit. She often turns down projects that involve funding or corporate support. However, when invited by the Pompidou Museum to create a piece about her environmental vision, she embraced the chance. This project combined her music with artificial intelligence to highlight the sounds of endangered animals. For the Pompidou work, Björk used recordings of various animals like the Hawaiian crow and the orangutan. She spent considerable time listening to bird flocks to capture the most uplifting sounds. Her goal is to raise awareness about extinction and give a voice to these creatures. In her collaboration with the museum, she also encouraged young activists to take action. She hopes they will convince French President Emmanuel Macron to ban destructive fishing practices in protected waters. Björk emphasizes the importance of concentrating on one significant cause and seeing it through, rather than just making an appearance in campaigns.
