Ukrainian Ecostations Network

We are a public network of ecostations of Ukraine (NEU), which was created by like-minded people and nature lovers. It all started with the ecostation “Hlyboki Balyky”. In 2019 it was an initiative for the “Ecospace” in Rzshyshchiv community, where scientists could work and educational and cultural events could be held to popularize eco-conscious life. Also it was created to inform about the current state of the surrounding biodiversity and factors that harm it. After two years it became obvious that developing this startup as a network would be very advantageous to all communities, and that such an Ecostation should be in every territorial community of Ukraine. In consequence, this network is continually growing and was registered as a public organization “Network of Ecostations of Ukraine” (NEU) in 2021.

Our network is currently containing 6 Ecostations.. We are working together to spread the knowledge about the environment and to offer science-based practical green solutions for communities to protect biodiversity. We interact on the local level with businesses and local governments, and on the national level with government institutes. The common goal is to establish environmentally friendly policies and the accumulation and mass distribution of knowledge about the natural environment of the Ukraine. Each of us previously worked in various public organizations. Now we combine our knowledge and efforts to draw attention to the value of ecosystems and change approaches to biodiversity use and conservation.
