Description: In the early spring of 2002 ten Estonian environmental NGOs founded the Estonian Council of Environmental NGOs (EKO). Today nine non-governmental environmental organisations belong to the council and two organisations plan on joining. EKO is an informal politically independent cooperation network that helps environmental activists jointly achieve the environmental protection goals that are important for all of us. Until now EKO members have made joint efforts mainly to make Estonian forestry, agriculture, and energy policies, and planning decisions more environmentally friendly.

Description: Estonian Seminatural Community Conservation Association (ESCCA) is a nongovernmental organisation that was founded in 1997 in order to guarantee the maintenance of Estonian semi-natural communities. Semi-natural communities are traditional agricultural landscapes that include wooded meadows, alvars, floodplain meadows, coastal meadows, but also other meadows and pastures where grazing animals and mowing have been the only human activities. The ESCCA was brought into being due to the fact that the area of semi-natural communities has become marginal during the 20th century, consequently, the further existence of semi-natural communities as well as of species adapted to those conditions has become questionable. Through the maintenance of traditional rural landscapes ESCCA also supports the preservation of traditional village culture. The main activities of ESCCA include collecting information concerning semi-natural communities, organizing the protection and maintenance of those communities, and thirdly, introducing semi-natural communities to the larger audience.
