The project activities are linked to the identification and remediation of illegal dumps which cause degradation of the environment. They may cause soil and water contamination, groundwater, reduce biodiversity and greatly contribute to the spread of alien plant and animal species. The most important cross-border effects of the project between Slovenia and Croatia will be an improvement of the environmental situation on both sides of the border and a significant reduction of risks to human health through increased knowledge of the causes and vectors for pathogens spread.
