In celebration of World Health Day on April 5, 2017, 300 trees were planted in the courtyard of the Peja Regional Hospital, contributing to environmental sustainability and improving the hospital's green spaces. This initiative supported biodiversity and promoted a healthier and more nature-friendly environment for both patients and medical staff.
The green areas in the courtyards of the Gymnasium High School and 'Dardania' Primary School were expanded, creating more outdoor spaces where students can engage with nature. This initiative improved the environmental quality of the schools, creating a healthier and more enjoyable learning environment for students.
The project brought together Albanian and Serbian students from Peja and Gorazdevac for a three-day environmental & sports workshop and tree planting activities in two respective schools. This initiative promoted intercultural understanding, cooperation, and environmental stewardship among the young participants, fostering unity and shared commitment to environmental protection. The project demonstrated that environmental issues are an effective tool for inter-ethnic reconciliation and cooperation.
As a grassroots environmental advocacy organization, we organized, supported, and mobilized community actions in close cooperation with other CSOs in Peja. These efforts culminated in the historic mass protest on February 25, 2019. This powerful civic mobilization successfully stopped strategic investment plans to build devastating small hydropower facilities along the Lumbardhi River within the protected Bjeshkët e Nemuna National Park.
