About Ukraine Environmental Action
Our Mission
Originally, the Balyky Ecology Research Station, 100 km south of Kyiv, was created to restore and reintroduce endemic Ukraine species of plants, animals, birds and insects, lost during the years of destructive Soviet cooperative farms.
Our work was stopped when Russia invaded Ukraine.
Meanwhile, we have used our skills and tools to train citizens to replace infrastructure destroyed by the war.
People need clean water, composting toilets, and a new source of food crops.
Our staff trains citizens to safely collect and store rainwater. We train teams to build composting toilets to return effluent to the soil without contamination. This training is not restricted to adults. On weekends we host 40 high school students who learn ecology, permaculture, blacksmithing, and additional skills such as building simple solar charging stations for telephones and lighting.
Fields and gardens planted for restoring endemic species are now growing food crops in fear of famine. Our tractor was restored thanks to donations. A herd of goats and sheep were purchased to produce milk and meat and use herding techniques to improve soil quality.
Since the start of the war by Russia against Ukraine we have
continued the practice of keeping the station door open to refugees who come needing rest, food and water.
We have no overhead or administration costs. We are volunteers.
