Today, on the Day of Wisdom, Kindness and Respect, we honor all representatives of the third age. The Ministry expresses its gratitude to those who stood at the origins of the environmental industry in Tatarstan – our veterans. The foundations of Tatarstan's modern environmental safety were laid several decades ago, and it was veterans who stood at the origins of this difficult and responsible work. Their professional feat, many years of hard work and deep dedication to the cause of nature conservation have created the solid foundation on which all the work of the Ministry is being built today.
"Your experience, knowledge and guidance have become a support for many environmental specialists in Tatarstan. We are proud of our veterans, their achievements and active lifestyle, which has only become stronger and wiser over the years. Thank you for your great contribution to the ecological well-being of Tatarstan, for your fortitude and dedication to your work. You are our wealth and pride! I sincerely wish you good health, longevity, joy and warmth!" said Alexander Shadrikov, Minister of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The head of the department also stressed that the work of veterans of the environmental service cannot be overestimated. Their knowledge, initiative and responsibility helped preserve Tatarstan's natural wealth for future generations.
The Ministry of Ecology has a systematic program for working with veterans. Every year, as part of the Decade of the Elderly, festive events and themed excursions are organized for them, and department employees visit their predecessors to do a courtesy and personally express respect.
Such work is not only a sign of gratitude, it is a fundamental principle of the department's work, confirming that the experience and contribution of veterans remain in demand, and their work to protect the nature of the Republic of Tatarstan is still considered invaluable.
