The
Earth Watchers Center is a non-profit environmental NGO, which started
its activities on Nov. 2002 .The Center’s aim is to help reduce the
existing environmental problems and to preserve the Earth’s heritage
through raising the public awareness. This will be achieved by
reporting case studies based on data obtained from surveying and fact
-finding trips, by printing educational pamphlets and by arranging
public educational scientific tours.
The
Center holds that the most fundamental step to be taken toward raising
public awareness and knowledge is to inform people from all different
social strata, from the layman up to the highest level of decision
makers. The most important achievements of the center are publishing
the EWC quarterly and the launching of its website:
www.earthwatchers.org
and
www.earthwatchers.ir
The
Center through publications, website, reporting environmental news,
research -reports and interviews attempts to bring transparency to the
meanings of environmental values and the menacing environmental issues
of Iran, in the hope of attracting every-body’s attention to the
necessity of preserving those values and finding solutions to the
devastating environmental problems.
It
is in the agenda of the Center to report the opinions of the
scientists, researchers, and experts on any relevant environmental
issues in their name and also to report the problems of any group of
people who have suffered from environmental pollution, its devastating
effects and side effects, such as deplorable living conditions, deaths
and diseases, as seen in the case of relocated and displaced
indigenous people.
