Azerbaijan’s Green Movement (AGM) is appealing for aid and assistance.
Unfortunately, AGM has very few addresses of NGOs in Central, Eastern and
South-Eastern Europe where the problem of devastation is of greatest urgence.
AGM would like to establish contacts with government and non-government
organizations that are working or willing to work in this sphere. Currently
AGM is collecting information on the devastation in Central and Eastern
Europe, especially in Moldavia, in the south of European Russia and in the
Ukraine as well as about NGOs working in this area.
Perhaps there are NGOs already dealing with the devastation problem, or
maybe someone has information on the situation in countries or particular
regions on the following problems:
Forest devastation (cutting of forests and other green plantations)
Water, wind, slope erosion and degradation of soils caused by any phenomenon
(agricultural overuse, etc.).
Irrational water use.
Pollution of surface and ground soil waters.
Chemical, oil or secondary pollution of soil.
Improper agricultural activities.
Dumping of solid wastes.
Climate changes and natural desert formation.
Causes of anthropogenic devastation (urbanization, war, electro-magnetic
emission, radiation, acid rains, etc..)
Plants diseases, fires and other phenomena that endanger vegetation
in particular areas.
Additionally, AGM is looking forward to establishing contacts with NGOs
working in the following fields:
sustainable development of countries and particular regions;
sustainable agriculture and sustainable forestry;
sustainable water use;
solid and liquid waste management;
protection of water reservoirs, rivers, streams, etc.;
development of alternative power engineering;
liaison with local communities;
liaison with farmers;
work on different aspects of devastation problem;
reduction of fauna and flora biodiversity.
AGM would be grateful for texts, photos and any other visual aids (charts,
tables, diagrams, maps, etc.) concerning specific facts on devastation;
also topical reviews about devastation on national, regional or local levels
as well as concerning the devastation of forests, disappearance of springs,
drainage of water reservoirs and sources, information on the dynamics of
these processes during different historical periods.
We would also welcome official information (from government structures)
in the form of references, national reviews and reports, etc.
We would appreciate it very much if the information in Russian could be
sent together with an English translation.
If there is any Internet data, please send us the name of the web-site.
