I was talking specifically about their involvement in "their" projects within Slovakia they present on youtube. All they do within Slovakia in reality is sending few people to film videos for their channel and they make token donations.

You said "Mossy Earth [is] an influencer channel that lives off donations". That is completely untrue. They do plenty of actual restoration work themselves, but they do also make donations to other entities. The description of these projects on their website makes it very clear that these projects are merely financially supported by them. I don't know by how much but trust me, any amount of funding is good when it comes to ecological restoration. If they gave only a thousand dollars that would be pretty significant.

I think here is misunderstanding. I also think that 1k donation is better than 0k for enviroment restoration. But - BROZ - the Slovak partner of Mossy Earth that organizes these Slovak projects that Mossy Earth presents on their channel, has been awarded among others direct EU funding of 55.000.000 EUR since year 2010 till 2022 (not all money was paid, some of it are still open running projects). What would you call 1k or even 100k in such case?

I´m not displeased that Mossy Earth is making small donations per se. I just feel their videos about BROZ projects are misleading the public in hunt for donations. Youtube wievers are silently led to believe that by sending money to Mossy Earth they make any impact on these Slovak projects. When the influencer often uses such phrases like "we have flooded a forest" or "we have rescued the sousliks".

I wont comment on any other Mossy Earth projects or videos because I have zero info.

Did anyone also watch Brave Wilderness once?

Brave Wilderness made it easy for me to connect to people who aren't too familiar with animals when they did the sting challenges and got me interested in tidepooling. Though I don't watch them as often anymore, I've always appreciated that part of their content.

One more channel very much like his is curios archive which also features similar content.

Genuinely didn't expect to see another Unnatural History Channel fan lol. I also watch and enjoy Curious Archive, especially the videos where he compiles and explores concepts instead of covering a particular fictional world, though I feel his videos are only very loosely related to animals which is why I didn't include it.

Also I forgot to mention Jordan Dean (formerly AntsAustralia) which has some spectacular videos on native Australian ants and how he keeps them, though he hasn't uploaded for a while now

Oh my god, I have so many of them,
I do enjoy zootours. But I frankly don't watch zoo videos a lot except Zootours.
I watch Casual Geographic (Amazing dude), Terra Mater produces good documentary, I loved (not only love but breathed) Brave Wilderness a lot, I still check in time to time. I watch the Australia Zoo channel too. Animalogic.

I love watching Brave Wilderness. Coyote is amazing. I also love @Moebelle 's channel. Zootours is one of the best channels I've ever seen.
