Estonian Green Movement

Supposedly in all Baltic States only the projects, started in 2003 or earlier will be carried on. There were no extra funds for new titles.

In Estonia the main attention will be drawn to the counties, adjacent to the Pärnu River. A joint action of the students of five educational establishments from three counties will be going on. The subject matter will be related to the research work at the Pärnu River as one of the habitats of natural Salmon. Main activities will be field investigations, seminars, lectures, camps, information sharing via e-mail and websites. The resulting goal should be a travelling exhibition of the gathered material. This project is closely related to the ongoing process of compiling the water management plan of the hydrographic basin.

Additionally there is a plan to publish a book (ca 40 ppg), that will introduce all migratory fish species of the Estonian rivers.

A subsequent information material by SwedEnviro about planning new small scale urban settlements, using sustainable waste-water treatment methods will be translated and published.

In the international scale we are asked to participate in a project opposing small hydropower stations on the Nemunas River.
