Friends of the Earth Poland

About us

Polski Klub Ekologiczny (PKE, Polish Ecological Club) was founded in Krakow in 1980 as a non-profit, non-governmental organisation opposing the treatment of the environment as an ownerless, valueless property. Our main goal has been the practical implementation of sustainable development through raising environmental awareness in society, thus environmental education has been the first of our tasks. Making people aware that quality of life depends on achieving the balance between technological development, humanistic values and wise stewardship of the earth’s natural resources, together with preserving natural, historical and cultural heritage is our main challenge.
