A visiting meeting on the further development of the specially protected natural area "Blue Lakes" was held today by the Head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov.

In particular, the latter are equipped in such a way as to prevent the loss of water properties, the bottom and silts of the lakes remain intact, the ecosystem of the Blue Lakes is not disturbed.
Let us recall that the Concept of the development of the Blue Lakes ecosystem until 2025 was developed on behalf of the Head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov. In particular, it involves the creation of eco-turn - organized entry points to protected areas with a set of basic infrastructure: parking, a pavilion with rental equipment for outdoor activities, solid waste containers. Eco-trails for tourists with educational and interactive elements will also be organized.
