Guria. The civic club of village Atsana of the Lanchkhuti
Municipality, in partnership with the local self-government, has taken the
effort in ecological education of the local population, and in particular the
youth. Village Atsana is located in the landslide danger zone, and therefore
protecting the forest is of crucial importance for the village. In order to
protect the forest from deforestation, the civic club has decided to raise the
awareness of fellow villagers and educate them on ecological issues. To this
end, the club has installed the banner on July 16 in the
village center. "Protect my roots for me to stop the landslide!" -
with this banner text the young urge the population not to resort to
deforestation and thus protect the village from landslides. Based on the appeal
of the civic club, the local self-government was involved in the banner
installation process and assisted the club with necessary materials for the
banner.
The student members of the civic club have installed and painted the
banner themselves. A tangible result achieved on their own initiative and the
successful partnership with the local self-government has given them the
stimulus to repeat similar activities in the future and be engaged in the civil
process.
