A large-scale environmental campaign dedicated to Youth Day was held in Kamsko-Ustinsky district!
With the support of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan, the participants traditionally united for one goal — to clean the banks of the Volga River.
The head of the district Nail Vazikhov and the Deputy chairman of the regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society in the Republic of Tatarstan Andrey Agarkov addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. After the briefing, the teams went to clean up three locations at once: at Mount Lobach, on the beach of the Kuibyshev reservoir in the village of Kamskoye Ustye and on the beach of the village of Tenki.
More than 110 people took part in the campaign, collecting 100 bags of garbage. Unfortunately, the level of coastal pollution from household waste remains high: plastic bottles, glass fragments, and food wrappers are among the finds.
Representatives of the A.A. Leonov Underwater Research Group took part in the campaign. They examined the bottom of the Volga River for contamination.
We thank all those who are not indifferent for their contribution to the purity of Tatarstan's nature! Together we make the banks of our rivers cleaner and more beautiful.
