Back in the 1990s, the eider was one of the most abundant bird species in the Baltic Sea. Then the situation started to deteriorate. The causes of the haakka’s plight and rescue attempts are followed in journalist-writer Kimmo Ohtonheimo’s nature documentary A haak’s distress call. He is also known by his previous surname Ohtonen.
Surname change is not a very recent thing. Ohtonen has been officially the Ohton family for years, ever since his marriage. He and Laura-spouse got married in August 2017, and at that time they decided to combine their surnames. The end result is Ohtonen and The tribe a crossover that started as a joke.

Humor is far from Ohtonheimo’s latest direction. In it, he not only deals with one species, but through the fate of the egret, he mirrors the future of the entire Baltic Sea. How much can individual people influence the matter when great forces are storming the nature around? In the Archipelago Sea at Bengtskär Snare and Nora Wilson at least they believe in their influence.
