    The Maros Cleaning Camp 1995

So the Maros ( Mures ) cleaning action takes place from 12 to22 July between Marosheviz (Toplita) and Deda.
Our financial support comes from the Romanian section of REC and some comercial companies.
The aims of our campaigne:
- to offer a basic eco-mentality to the inhabitants, mainly to the youth
 and to involve them actively into the solutions of local environmental problems, first of all how to keep the river clean, because
as a tradition, local people use it as a trashcan;
- to lead the inhabitants into the consciousness of how desastruous can a polluted river be and to accentuate the importance of the
untouched nature as a way to the development of eco-turism, which should rise the living standards of the inhabitants reviving old,
traditional trades and giving new jobs for youths;
- to renew the fish stock in Maros, small rivers around and in the new collecting lake on the Ratosnya stream, to resettle the dying
fish species, to stop the wild electric fishing which would be a great realisation on national and international level, g
iving big opportunities for normal and sport fishing and for organising fishing competitions;
- this 50 km section of the river between Marosh=82v=A1z and Deda is to =
be a National Park ( see the 19/1993 decision of the Council of Maros County ) ;
- to involve members from the leadership of the country into decision making for the solutions of these themes;
- ecological education, different presentations about geography, history=
, local etnography, botany, ornitology and ecosystems for the participants =
of the camp;
- we hope to be a kind of " Modell Action ", preventing the polution of the alpin streams and rivers;
- this would ensure our group's future giving us new members, getting involved into the solutions of local eco-problems and their
official survey.
Participation and the camp itself
There will the members of Rhododendron, general pupils, students and invite=
d persons from 10 - 20 groups from inside of the country, which are also busy working on the same theme participate on the cleaning
action. We are expecting people from abroad as well.
We hope to have participants and advices from Romsilva R.A., Romanian Water=
s R.A., Environment Protection Office of Maros County, Hunting - Fishing As=
sociation, The Council and Education Center of the county.
We will go down on the water of the river by rafts collecting the wastes fr=
om the river. Two parallel groups on both sides of the river will clean up =
the bank. This rubbish will be put on the raft too until we can put it into=
 the huge trash containers. Th
e collected wastes will be exposed for a while for local people ( the resul=
t of a similar camp last year was five huge trucks full with an immens vari=
ety of wastes: thousends of plastic bags, textil relics, stoves, tractor wh=
eels, car frameworks, etc. ).

SUBJECT: IRISH COMPANY SEEKS SENIOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN
 ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERTS


 EDC is an Irish-based international consulting firm providing services in
project management, consultancy and training in the environment/development
area. To date, most of EDC's work has been in Central and Eastern Europe. We
have worked on Phare projects in Estonia, Hungary and Poland, and on
projects for the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs in Poland and Estonia.
We have also worked for Tacis in the CIS.

 EDC is keen to build up our network of partners in Central and Eastern
Europe, from NGOs and companies, and individuals. We would like to hear from
well-qualified environmental experts interested in
short- and long-term assignments in the region and in the former Soviet
Union. Experts must have more than 5 years experience, speak excellent
English, and be fully computer literate. Previous experience of
international projects is useful.

Current and completed projects include:

 Phare Multi-Country Environment Programme Liaison Office (Budapest):
 EDC is assisting the Hungarian Ministry for Environment and Regional Policy
to establish and run an office to coordinate Phare-funded multi-country
initiatives which include the Danube, "Black Triangle", Black Sea and Baltic
Sea, and regional remote sensing programmes. We are providing an adviser for
one year, and three man-months of short-term inputs, and will assist in the
organisation of two meetings of the Programme's Liaison Group. Phare is
supporting the project with ECU 260,000. Work commenced in May 1995.

 Estonia: EDC is managing a two-year Phare contract to provide 61 man-months
of technical assistance in project management and engineering to the
Ministry of Environment and the Tallinn Water and
 Sewerage Municipal Enterprise (TWASME). This project represents a
continuation of our earlier Phare work in the country, and has a Phare
budget of  ECU 400,000.
