Dimitris Karavellas

Dimitris Karavellas is the director of WWF Greece, an organization focused on environmental conservation and sustainable development. He has been vocal about the need for effective marine protection policies in Greece, particularly in relation to the establishment of marine parks and the potential threats posed by hydrocarbon extraction activities. In recent news, he criticized the government's plan to connect the expansion of the Ionian marine park with oil and gas exploration, asserting that such practices are incompatible with genuine environmental protection efforts.
