### Our Climate Impact in the Last 12 Months

#### 1. Conservation Initiatives
- **Creation of Protected Areas**: Through the efforts of our ecovillagers, around 10 initiatives have been launched to create protected zones and reserves in various regions of the country, including the Carpathians, Polissya, Slobozhanshchyna, Steppe, and Forest-Steppe. Each area spans from 50 to 100 hectares.
- **Ecosystem Restoration**: In the de-occupied territories of Kyiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions, our ecovillagers have contributed to landmine clearance and ecosystem restoration.

#### 2. Soil and Ecosystem Regeneration
- **Soil Restoration**: Scientists from Kyiv University and experts from the Permaculture Association developed a rapid soil restoration method for areas affected by rocket strikes. Several training sessions were conducted at the Radariya Educational Center, with results documented over the year.
- **Case Studies**: Materials on our regional experience in land regeneration have been compiled, showcasing how degraded lands were restored through the efforts of ecovillagers. These case studies are available on [Github](https://github.com/maxzalevski/regenerative_lands).

#### 3. Renewable Energy and Sustainable Mobility
- **Solar Power Installations**: Five solar power stations were installed in houses and community spaces within our ecovillages. 
- **Bicycle Workshops**: Five bicycle workshops were established, where battery systems for electric bikes and charging stations for routers and other devices were developed. This initiative addresses mobility and connectivity issues between settlements during blackouts. [Report](https://genukraine.com.ua/index.php/en/gen-ukraine/our-projects/bicycles-for-ecovillages-case)

#### 4. Green Off-grid Solutions
- **Catalog of Off-grid Solutions**: We are developing a catalog of green off-grid solutions, with case studies from our settlements. The materials are collected on a [Github repository](https://github.com/maxzalevski/offgrid).

#### 5. Infrastructure Development
- **Infrastructure Projects**: Dozens of infrastructure projects have been funded and renovated in rural areas. Old village houses have been restored, and new facilities built, now serving as community centers, children's spaces, and educational hubs in our ecovillages, providing shelter for displaced persons from frontline zones and large cities.

#### 6. Climate Change Education and Practices
- **Training Programs**: We continuously conduct training sessions and document solutions for soil fertility restoration, wetland protection, water collection systems, waste composting, and studies on carbon footprint and carbon economy.

#### 7. Web3 and Regenerative Finance
- **Web3 Solutions**: Our organization is actively teaching network participants about regenerative finance and the concept of regenerative ecovillages. Despite the challenges posed by war and frequent power outages, we continue to progress in this area. [Chat Ukrainian](https://t.me/+PqgKTyiiAJk0OTli)
