Ilya Trombitsky Headlines our First Seminar

We held our first seminar for the Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest project this past Saturday morning, at the auditorium of the "Dmitri Matcovschi" High School.  We were highly pleased with the turnout, as 48 teachers, doctors and community leaders from the four villages of Cot, Climauti de Jos, Vadul-Rascov, and Socol were present to hear our talks.  

The topic of discussion was the state of the Nistru (Dniester) River and we heard from Mr. Trombitsky, of Eco-Tiras, explain the science and problems of the Nistru.  There was a lively discussion about the lamentable current river condition, problems caused by agriculture and other human activities and the general lack of awareness of all these problems.  Several solutions were proposed and it was clear that we had galvanized the community leaders towards action to save the river.  

We hope to build on this seminar and continue to raise awareness of the environmental problems of the Nistru River.

First Seminar Tomorrow!

Teaching villagers to save their environment

We were recently fortunate enough to win a grant from the Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest, Romania to teach the people of our villages about their environment and steps they can take to help conserve it.  Our project consists of the following activities:

1) We will be hosting a series of ecological education and conservation seminars in the villages of Cot, Climautii de Jos, Vadul-Rascov and Socol.  The target audience will be the youth of the four villages, and they will learn about the Nistru river environment, native fauna and vegetation, and the importance of conservation.  They will learn to respect nature and use their natural resources wisely.

2) We will be organizing a litter pickup campaign along the Nistru riverbank.  Youth from the four villages will volunteer their time to walk along the riverbank and pickup trash.  Volunteerism is key to creating strong civil societies and this campaign will raise civic and national pride.  In conjunction with this campaign, the local public administration will construct ten public garbage cans near paths leading to the riverbank.  This should decrease the amount of litter on the riverbank and encourage the community to treat public spaces with respect and dispose of litter properly.

3) Finally, we will create an ecological literature collection at the Vadul-Rascov public library and publicize the seminars and litter pickup throughout the region.  Since there is very little information available locally on ecology and on environmental conservation, and even fewer on the local environment, AO INFO-TERRA will publish a booklet, “Our Nistru” to specifically address this problem.

We are in the process of organizing the first of the seminars and look forward to updating you as the project runs.
