Know it - Protect it ! Joint awareness raising on environmental protection and nature conservation in the border region

Nature conservation cannot be inherited, we must do for it. We must do so that people in today's society, which has long been separated from nature, realize that the harmony of nature is an essential element of a harmonious human existence. Kecskemét TV and Pannon TV with their cooperation have been serving this mission since 2011.

They choose the most difficult mission, to change significantly the attitude of people to common natural values of the CBR, offer them factual and scientific information on sustainable use of natural heritage and show them good example how to employ the information in practice. They want to reach this purpose with 35 jointly made bi-lingual television nature magazine series of 20 minutes and regularly presented on both TV in every second Saturday evening at 7 pm. Besides they create tale books, thematic board games for youngsters to help the work of educators and teachers or either the parents.
