Today, at the Lyceum named after Hero of the Soviet Union G. K. Kamaleev in the village of Novoe Shigaleevo in the Pestrechinsky district, a ceremony was held to initiate schoolchildren into the junior college.
The children were greeted by Nail Nazarov, Head of the Department of Mineral Resources and Water Resources of the Ministry of Ecology, Guzel Idrisova, a leading specialist in the Department of Environmental Education, and Rustam Farkhullin, head of the Youth Branch of the Russian Geographical Society in the Republic of Tatarstan.
The Ministry's staff addressed the young ecologists with words of farewell and wished them success in exploring and preserving the nature of their native land.
On this day, 82 schoolchildren joined the ranks of young naturalists — future environmentalists and researchers of Tatarstan's natural resources.
Since 2018, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan, together with the regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society, has been working to involve schoolchildren in the movement of young naturalists. Today, there are about three thousand young people in Tatarstan.
