About
Our mission is to create a society in which each individual recognizes his role in the preservation of natural resources and actively works to contribute to the preservation of the environment for future generations.
Through education, field research and cooperation with local communities, we strive to strengthen the awareness and actions of citizens in the direction of sustainable development, and to promote environmentally conscious practices that are key to a healthy and prosperous future.
Through teamwork between the project team and professional collaborators, we advocate for the preservation of nature and the protection of the environment. In addition to high-quality organization and activities, as well as relations within the organization, during the implementation and implementation of each project, we also build high-quality relationships with decision-makers, the wider social community and the media, all with the aim of strengthening the public's role in preserving natural resources and capacities.
