Declaration addressed to Czech authorities:
We appeal goverment of the Czech Republic, especially respective Ministeries of Environment and Agriculture, to take more attention to ecological restoration, and thus fulfill the target of the European Union which demands that each EU country should restore at least 15% of degraded or destroyed ecosystems by 2020. We strongly recommend to preferably use cheap and effective near-natural ways of restoration instead of expensive and often useless technical reclamation.
Participants of the 8th European Conference on Ecological Restoration
Výzva:
Apelujeme na vládu České republiky, zvláště příslušná ministerstva životního prostředí a zemědělství, aby věnovala více pozornosti ekologické obnově, a tak byl plněn cíl Evropské unie, který požaduje, aby každá členská země do roku 2020 obnovila alespoň 15 % degradovaných nebo zničených ekosystémů. Naléhavě doporučujeme, aby byly přednostně využívány levné a většinou efektivní způsoby přírodě blízké obnovy namísto převážně zbytečných a drahých technických rekultivací.
Účastníci 8. evropské konference o ekologické obnově,
konané ve dnech 9.-14.9.2012 v Českých Budějovicích
