Description
Everyone''s nature conservation is a concept by environmental scholars according to which nature conservation can only be successful if the whole society changes its habits and behaviour to become more environmental and climate friendly. Through active engagement, participants develop a sense of involvement and improve their knowledge of the environmental effects of their daily activities and choices. The aim of the project is to engage people actively both in conservation activities as well as policy debate. Target group is nature oriented and environmentally conscious people who otherwise do not have experiences with complicated policy documents.
Activities of the project include wide-scale participation of individuals and environmental organisations in the development of the Estonian Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan 2021-2027 and supporting activities like events popularising everyone’s nature conservation. There will be community events to popularise hands-on nature conservation – trainings on mowing by scythes that is used to maintain landscapes of outstanding natural beauty that are important for local communities and Estonia-wide competition near Estonian National Museum. www.talgud.ee will be renewed to support the everyone’s nature conservation concept. Project partner Estonian Seminatural Community Conservation Association will provide their expertise in policy debates and Karula Society will coordinate trainings on mowing by scythes.
