Four Important Quotes From EcoVarta Coaches

November 20, 2019

About creation nature reserve areas in the places of our childhood:

“Often, people initiate the creation of nature reserve assets where they live, grow up or are born. If you want to preserve some unique valuable natural territory, you should try it. Much of the nature reserves was created this way. Moreover, we have where to move. Today, in Ukraine, the area of ​​PFP facilities is 6.6% of the country’s territory, while in most European countries the average percentage of conservation is almost 21%. ” Although it is becoming more and more difficult to create PFP facilities, this critically important task requires constant efforts by both public authorities and the public. ”

KB Bogdan Prots, Head of NGO “Danube-Carpathian Program”.

About moral responsibility:

“In addition to disciplinary, administrative and criminal liability, there must be moral responsibility. Unfortunately, this thought still only makes us smile. We are very negative about corruption when we hear about it in the news. But when we know that our neighbor is carrying smuggling: we shake his hand and smile. It should not be so. Moral responsibility, condemnation of colleagues and neighbors can be a very powerful factor of control. ”
 Anatoly Pavelko, expert

 

About cooperation:

“We talk a lot about breaches in the forest industry. But it is not necessary to treat forestry workers exclusively in a negative way. They make many important and useful for the forest. There are honest and professional people in this profession. It is worth trying to establish cooperation with forestry workers. Wherever such cooperation will be beneficial and effective in protecting the forest. “
 Vasyl Gavrilyuk, expert

 

About protecting not only trees but also soil and water:

“Often, forest theft by local communities is minor mischief compared to barbaric timber removal by state-owned enterprises, including logging of streams, destruction of forest roads and slopes, destroying soil, erosion, and muddy river flows. Often, state control bodies are not able to cope with these phenomena or are sometimes part of them, so the involvement of knowledgeable and educated public is a critical measure to combat illegal phenomena in the forest industry. ”
 KB Bogdan Prots, Head of NGO “Danube-Carpathian Program”
