1 Scientific/technical activities We study cases of ecocide during the full-scale russian-Ukrainian war.

5 Policy influencing/advocacy We update field-based data on the environmental consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant every three months and publish the results in scientific articles. We also study war-related destruction of ecosystems and protected areas.
