The campaign devoted to the Day of Action for Rivers, Water, and Life took place in the gymnasia of Aznakaevo. The event was held under the slogan “For Rivers, Water and Life!” Pupils of the 1st to 5th forms could show their abilities as ecologists-beginners.
Specialists of the Priiksk Territorial Department took an active part in the campaign. They told pupils about the state of the rivers and the lakes of Tatarstan, and appealed for pupils’ careful attitude to the environment. The hall was decorated with numerous colorful drawings of the rivers and the lakes of the Republic of Tatarstan. The event took place in the form of the quiz: members of the “Dolphin” and the “Scarlet Sails” teams answered organizers’ questions.
The Day of Action for Rivers, Water and Life has been celebrated since February 14, 1998 at the initiative of the public environmental organization “International Rivers Network”.
