Tree planting, separate waste collection, use of chemicals in agriculture, burning of vegetation, domestic wastewater, etc. - the Republic of Moldova faces a huge number of environmental problems that require the attitude and involvement of the community.
There is an acute need for information of the population, of an ecological culture of the society, and an important role in this aspect has the non-governmental organizations and the environmental activists.
In the Republic of Moldova, work a significant number of organizations and environmental activists, most of them work with the population, train it and involve it in various environmental actions, depending on specific field of activity. But these actions take place separately, depending on the organization involved, the field of activity and the area of coverage, its communication capabilities, etc. Many environmental aspects, in the interaction with society, are covered
disproportionately or not at all. In order to create an ecological culture, to change people's behavior in relation to the environment, it is necessary to strengthen the efforts of an environmental community.
The project "Enhanced Environmental Community - a more responsible society" addresses the topic of community-based adaptation and consists of supporting the strengthening of the environmental community in the Republic of Moldova, as well as supporting its effective communication with the general public.
