The focus of ERA's environmental education is to raise awareness and encourage engagement among young people, especially in rural areas and within minority communities. These initiatives aim to foster a culture of environmental responsibility and empower students to contribute to sustainable practices in their communities.

A cornerstone of these efforts is an emphasis on the protection of endangered species, such as the Balkan lynx (Lynx lynx balcanicus). Through ERA's advocacy, information about the Balkan lynx has been included in the 6th grade primary school curriculum, laying the groundwork for better understanding and active participation in conservation efforts.

As part of international eco-school initiatives, ERA works closely with schools to implement sustainable practices. These include the creation of eco-friendly school gardens, recycling programmes and the promotion of energy efficiency. These efforts have produced tangible results, increasing students' knowledge of endangered species and reinforcing the importance of environmental stewardship.
