Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan Alexander Shadrikov noted that this is a very important direction in the field of ecology. "It is the scientific approach and innovative solutions that make it possible to solve many environmental problems. This includes environmental monitoring, eco-rehabilitation of water bodies, the latest technologies that we use in pilot environmental projects, such as the reclamation of the Samosyrovsky landfill, silt fields, during the dismantling of the Lake Oil Pipeline and much more. Dialogue with science has always been important to us. Only with such a symbiosis: government-science-business-society, we will achieve the most effective result in solving any problems and create the most comfortable conditions for the well-being of our entire republic and each of its inhabitants," he stressed.
