Keskkonnat

Keskkonnat is the Estonian word for environment. It encompasses all the natural resources and conditions that surround and affect living organisms, including air, water, soil, climate, and the presence of other living things. The concept of keskkonnat is central to discussions about ecology, conservation, and sustainability in Estonia.

Estonian environmental policy focuses on protecting the country's natural heritage, which includes extensive forests, bogs, and a significant coastline. Efforts are made to balance economic development with the preservation of biodiversity and the health of ecosystems. This involves managing natural resources responsibly, reducing pollution, and promoting renewable energy sources.

Awareness of keskkonnat issues is promoted through education and public campaigns. Various organizations and governmental bodies are dedicated to monitoring environmental quality, implementing conservation projects, and enforcing environmental regulations. The health of the keskkonnat is considered vital for the well-being of both current and future generations in Estonia.
