Protecting the quality and fertility of soil that is threatened by erosion, contamination and unsustainable farming practices is our priority. We promote agricultural technologies that minimize soil degradation, promote water retention and increase soil organic matter. We also focus on the restoration and reclamation of damaged soils, for example as a result of mining or industrial activities. We are exploring ways to promote soil biodiversity, which is key to soil health and productivity.
The restoration and preservation of native forest stands, valuable not only for their biodiversity, are a fundamental goal towards which we are working. Sustainable management of forest stands, which ensures their long-term ecological and economic value, is a prerequisite for our activities in this area. We promote sustainable forestry practices that mimic natural processes and promote the resilience and stability of forest ecosystems. We pay attention to the protection of endangered species dependent on forest habitats. We are exploring how to permanently halt deforestation of the landscape and return forests and their natural inhabitants to their majesty.
We support the implementation of modern mining technologies that minimize negative environmental impacts and are energy efficient. We emphasize consistent reclamation of areas affected by mining to restore biodiversity and allow ecosystems to thrive again. At the same time, we recognise the importance of involving local communities in mining decision-making processes. We also pay great attention to recycling and reusing raw materials. We strive to implement circular models that reduce demand for primary extraction and eliminate waste. We encourage the development and use of more sustainable materials that are environmentally friendly and have a lower carbon footprint.
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth in all its forms and levels. Maintaining biodiversity is essential for the healthy functioning of the planet and for providing the ecosystem services that are essential for human existence and prosperity - economic and social benefits. We are focused on protecting and restoring biodiversity that is directly threatened by human activities, climate change and invasive species. High levels of biodiversity in all natural patches provide for pollination, climate regulation, water purification, oxygen production, reduction of invasive species and much more. As a culturally-dominant species, biodiversity conservation is of great self-reflective importance to us, as it is to many indigenous cultures.

Balance in our doing
All human activities are interconnected, the consequences that we do not see or ignore now are a measure of our maturity and our true abilities. Even good intentions can become a negative generator of burdens and global crises in terms of impacts. Only we are responsible for the tools we use, both in the daily lives of individuals and in deciding the direction of society as a whole. Let us be aware of the values that matter and look for ways to do things differently and better. Let us not be afraid of change, it is the essence of survival.
Water
Water is a basic prerequisite for life and a key natural resource. We are focused on the conservation and sustainable management of water resources to ensure sufficient availability and quality of drinking water for present and future generations. We promote water efficiency in agriculture and industry, advocate for water saving and recycling technologies, and seek real solutions for areas affected by water scarcity. We are dedicated to the care, protection and restoration of aquatic ecosystems such as rivers, lakes and wetlands.

Air
Clean air is essential for the health of people and ecosystems. We are focused on reducing emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that contribute to air quality degradation and climate change. We insist on a transition to clean technologies, stricter emission limits and air quality standards. We also emphasize monitoring and improving air quality in cities and industrial areas. We take the protection of the ozone layer for granted. At the same time, we understand the need to develop technologies that will playfully ensure these goals.
