Green Treasures of the Carpathians – First Results in Youth Engagement

The Green Treasures of the Carpathians project brings together organisations from Slovakia and Ukraine to inspire young people to discover, understand, and protect the unique biodiversity of the Carpathian Mountains. Through outdoor adventures, environmental education, and creative activities, the project nurtures a new generation of environmentally conscious citizens and strengthens cross-border resilience against biodiversity loss. Outdoor learning in action Since its launch in April 2025, the project has organised a series of eco-club excursions and thematic camps in the High Tatras and Transcarpathia regions. Young participants have explored the birthplace of the Uzh River in Uzhansky National Park, hiked along the legendary Dovbush Trail, and climbed peaks such as Kosztirivka and Dragobrat. Each trip combines scientific discovery with creative experiences: testing soil and water quality in a “field eco-lab”, learning about food chains in the forest, identifying lichens, mosses and ferns, or observing the strategies animals use to survive. Alongside these lessons, children and teenagers also enjoy rafting, climbing, team games, and art activities – from building photo frames out of natural materials to creating “forest paintings”. On some excursions, participants are encouraged to “see with the heart”, walking barefoot on forest paths, listening to the sound of “rain” created by pebbles in their hands, or learning to recognise trees by touch and scent. These playful yet profound activities help children experience the forest with all senses, creating emotional connections that go beyond simple knowledge. These outdoor classrooms give participants more than just facts: they create lasting memories, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation of nature. As one eco-club reflected after a mountain hike: “This journey gave us more than new facts in biology – it gave us gratitude and understanding that we are all responsible for protecting the jewels of the world around us.” Creative education and inclusion The project draws inspiration from good practices in Germany and the Czech Republic, adapting interactive methods of nature pedagogy for the Carpathian context. Educational materials are being developed for teachers, guides, national park rangers and youth leaders, while thematic theatre performances by Slovak and Ukrainian artists will further engage communities in both countries. An important aspect of the Slovak activities is the active involvement of Ukrainian refugee families, ensuring that both children and adults can participate in meaningful environmental education while strengthening cross-border solidarity. Why it matters The Carpathian Mountains are among Europe’s most precious natural treasures, but they are increasingly threatened by uncontrolled development, climate change, and pollution. By engaging the next generation directly in hands-on environmental education, Green Treasures of the Carpathians builds awareness, responsibility, and skills that will help safeguard biodiversity for the future.

WeVaRe – Progress on Wetland Monitoring and Protection

On 24 July 2025, the WeVaRe project held its kick-off conference at the Information Center of Uzhhorod National University. The event presented the project’s main objectives, the implementation plans of each partner, and the strategy to engage stakeholders in monitoring wetlands across the Zakarpattia region. Local organisations, institutions, and environmental experts joined the meeting to align activities and coordinate efforts in reaching the project’s indicators. First results During the initial implementation period, the project team began to assess the state of wetlands in the cross-border area of Romania, Ukraine, and Slovakia. A documentary database was created, compiling satellite imagery, historical maps, and graphic records from the past decade to analyse the evolution of wetlands. Two wetland areas of particular importance – Dese Turți–Iezerul Mare and Moisei–Taul lui Ciumau – were identified as pilot monitoring sites. Fieldwork and topo-geodetic surveys have already started, including seasonal monitoring cycles, soil and water sampling, and the identification of pollution sources and anthropogenic pressures. At the same time, partners from Administration of Maramures Mountains Nature Park successfully carried out species mapping in both pilot sites. Dese Turți–Iezerul Mare in northern Romania is a nationally protected natural area, known for its specific wetland biodiversity and rare habitats. The oligotrophic peat ecosystem is a highly fragile environment, home to glacial relict species preserved by the area’s unique microclimate. It also holds scientific importance in ecology, climatology, and paleo botany due to the study of its peat layers. As part of WeVaRe, the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca team is conducting four monitoring cycles here using geospatial technologies. The data collected will feed into a GIS database, supporting comprehensive assessments of the site’s condition and long-term changes. Through these activities, the project has determined the most suitable geospatial monitoring technologies for the target areas. Close cooperation with local authorities, companies, and NGOs ensures that stakeholders remain actively involved, with consultations and information-sharing planned throughout the project’s lifetime. About the project The WeVaRe project (HUSKROUA/23/RS/1.2/036) aims to develop an integrated wetland monitoring and risk assessment system using modern technologies and innovative practices. By combining expertise from multiple scientific disciplines, WeVaRe contributes to a better understanding of wetland degradation processes and provides a model that can be replicated in other regions. Why it matters By integrating advanced monitoring and analysis techniques and by encouraging cross-border scientific cooperation, WeVaRe is laying the foundations for long-term wetland preservation in the Carpathian border region. The project not only improves knowledge but also develops tools and best practices that can be transferred across Europe and beyond.
