meet the FOUNDER

hey there, i’m MARGARITA – zoologist turned green media maven and your guide to turning passion for the planet into impactful action. my journey wasn't a straight path but a winding road that took me from the academia, where I dove deep into zoology, to the vast, vibrant landscapes of over 70 countries, capturing stories that the world needs to hear.

i started off like many, sharing my adventures and lifestyle, but something within me shifted. i realised that my true calling was to use my voice, my platform, and my content to spotlight the pressing environmental issues facing our planet. however, it wasn’t enough to just talk about the problems; I wanted to change the narrative to focus on solutions, positivity, and the power of collective action.

that’s where BEHIND THE GREENS media comes into play. it’s my brainchild, born from the idea that we can do more together than alone. here, I merge science with creativity to make environmental education engaging and accessible. from eye-opening documentaries to dynamic social media campaigns, I aim to inspire, educate, and mobilise a global community towards sustainable living.

but why stop here?

this isn’t just about me anymore—it’s about something way bigger. it’s about how social media can be so destructive but also this wild, untapped superpower for good. yeah, i’m leading this movement, but it’s really about all of us pushing this greenfluencer culture forward, turning likes and shares into real change.

my "mastering the art of greenfluencing" program? it’s for the dreamers, the doers, and everyone in between who believes they can make a difference. telling stories that matter is my thing—building bridges between science and society, hyping people up for climate action, and creating campaigns that actually move the needle.

i’ve worked with nat geo, waterbear, ecosia, jack wolfskin, and more, and i’ve spoken at places like COP28 and extreme hangouts. but really, it’s all about empowering this new wave of eco-leaders who are ready to change the world.

so, are you in? let’s go rewrite the narrative together. 🌿

latest projects

Renature Monchique - Tree Planting

Our team spent a week planting trees in Monchique, Portugal creating content about native species, the challenges associated with tree planting, behind-the-scenes of carbon offsetting, and of course planting as many trees as we possibly could!

AIMM - Marine Research

Join us as we document whales, dolphins, and porpoises off the southern coast of Portugal. This data contributed to observational research projects that aim to identify dolphin individuals, social behaviors, species interactions, and the effects of tourist watching boats on whales and dolphins.

RIAS - Wildlife Rescue Centre

Fall 2021 our team visited and spent several days at RIAS where we helped rehab animals with gunshot wounds, paratic syndrome, and other injuries; shadowing staff with animal care and learning about the challenges related to protecting local wildlife and the recovery process.
