Az Élő Tiszáért

The goal of Szövetség az Élő Tiszáért Egyesület is to improve the livelihood opportunities for those living in the Tisza River basin, to increase flood and environmental safety, and to preserve and enrich the ecological values of the Tisza, so that the inhabitants of this region can live in good quality of life and safety. The Alliance aims to promote farming models that achieve sustainable coexistence between humans and the river: they are appropriate for the characteristics of the landscapes, enrich the rich diversity of life, and promote the well-being of the people living in the region. To achieve this goal, they invited the municipalities, farmers, representatives of science, civil organizations, and anyone who wants to contribute to the prosperity of this region in the Tisza Lowland to cooperate. They work not only for the Tisza and its floodplain, but also for those living in the valleys of its tributaries, such as the Túr, Szamos, Kraszna, Bodrog, Hernád, Sajó, Körösök, Maros, and Zagyva, and for the natural values found there. This natural unit, the Tisza Lowland, one-third of Hungary's territory, and the areas within the watershed of the Carpathian peaks – after Széchenyi – are collectively called the Tisza Valley. This is the primary operational area of SZÖVET.

The task is not small: the region is regularly threatened by floods, inland waters, and droughts, our natural values are at risk, and we also find here the country's most economically and socially disadvantaged regions. Unemployment is significant, and incomes are low. The elderly make up an increasing proportion of the village populations, and many young people move away. Institutions in small settlements (kindergarten, school, doctor's office, post office) are being closed down in more and more places. In many places, railway transport has been abolished, and in numerous places, even bus services have been discontinued.

All these problems are not independent of each other. SZÖVET aims to develop and implement solutions that can address these issues comprehensively. The key to the development of the Tisza Valley is for its inhabitants to wisely manage the opportunities provided by nature. This can simultaneously bring better livelihoods, enrich our natural values, and even help mitigate the difficulties caused by extreme weather. The Association strives to help not only in theory but also in everyday life, so that all this can become a reality, not just a dream.
