Improvers
The world is changing. We have to face that in future we will need to deal with a lot of issues affecting our human life on earth. Futurologists predict that the amount of nature catastrophes will quadruple already until 2050 and sooner or later will pose challenges with an incalculable damage. Moreover, the harms of the human footprint on earth become more and more visible as air, water and earth pollution. It is becoming more important to think how you can deal with these rising consequences in future. That is why a new thinking about future professions is urgently required. In case of emergency a new force is needed who is theoretically and practically able to deal with either nature or chemical disaster situations. IMPROVERS represent a perfectly equipped and trained action force who is specialized in dealing with this new circumstances. IMPROVERS - try to bring life back.

Uninhabitable places around the world
It is an undeniable fact that there is a massive change of global temperature. This is due to the enormous CO2 emissions of world’s society which cause global warming and lead to greenhouse effect. Only in the last few years scientists register a heavily rise of the earth’s average surface temperature. Sooner or later world’s countryside will adapt to this impact and we will find more and more desert around this planet. IMPROVERS will adjust their equipments to this new conditions and the handling for high temperatures.

Air pollution
Not only the prevoius mentioned situation will constitute a strong challenge for mankind. Also air, earth and water pollution become an immense future trouble. Action forces must be prepared to work under these extreme situations and to resist this strong impacts. Even more - IMPROVERS will combat these difficult situations to normalize the conditions and to provide a place for normal life.
