"I say to the children every day that the planet Earth is our common home. And it depends only on us what it will be like." Today, the heroine of our column "Ecology in persons" is a geography teacher by profession and an ecologist by vocation Ilseyar Shaikhieva
For many years, Ilseyar Minnakhmatovna has been telling the children of the Shadkin school of the Tyulyachinsky district about continents, countries, oceans and seas – she is a geography teacher, and also an ecologist. After all, the science of the Earth cannot be unrelated to the science of life and nature. Her career began in the Tyulyachinsky House of Schoolchildren, where our heroine developed an author's program for additional education of children "Young Ecologist" and eco-trail for schoolchildren, and a little later became a geography teacher at the Shadkinsk school, which is the base platform for environmental education in the district (eco-center). Ilseyar Minnakhmatovna also conducts special seminars for teachers and students of districts on environmental topics, organized a scientific and practical conference "Ecology around us" and a regional mini-Olympiad "The World around us". Our heroine is an example not only for her students, but also for the whole village. She holds voluntary clean-ups, spring cleaning campaigns, and plants trees. Every year the Shadkinsk school participates in the Republican contest "Eco-leader" and becomes a prize-winner in the nomination "Eco-school". Last year, the guys took first place. And to her children (our heroine has three of them and she is a mother with many children), she does not get tired of repeating – we all live on the same planet and it depends only on us what it will be like in a hundred, two hundred and thousands of years!
