 The horse: "For many years the river Nîrnova had very clean water with living creatures in it ... Today, things have changed ... Water has become more and more polluted ... And this can be read even in the eyes of the animals who drink this water : “This may be the last drop I’m drinking ... if I don’t die after drinking this dirty water, I wonder if I will see this river clean and full of life again as in the times when my grandmother was my age ?" (Dumitru Cazimir and Nina Plop - SEAM)

and two special prizes for Bulgaria (topic : artistical picture) and Ukraine (topic : natural event)

"An enchanting oasis in Maarata fully capable of relaxing and taking every human being to far-off wonderful worlds towards inner harmony in just a couple of seconds. We need such places especially in our fast and gray daily round. This is one of the reasons why people have to take care of water resources. We can't exist without water, as well as water can't exist too long without us and our help..." (Anna Aleksandrova Petrova)

 

"Beautiful accessible nature oasis in the urban desert is main treasure of the 
Poltava lakes. Just try to find this beauty in reality - you'll face firstly with 


human's leisure-time treasures. We don't want to show you rubbish - we just show 


you lakes without it. Let’s care about treasures today to enjoy it tomorrow!" 


Tetyana Belobrova - Mama 86 / Poltava)
