Address Of the Interim President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov On the Day of Ecological Specialist

Dear citizens of Tatarstan!

I would like to express my cordial congratulations on the Day of Ecological Specialist!

It is not only a professional holiday of nature protection specialists, nature protectors and active ecological specialists, but it is also a big day for all those people who love and protect the motherland, care for the present and the future  of our common home.  

This year’s Day of ecological specialist is also special due to the fact that it is celebrated during the Year of Parks and Square Gardens of the Republic of Tatarstan thus extending the events that were held in 2013 in the framework of the All-Russian Year of Ecology and the Tatar Year of Ecological Culture and Nature Protection.

The measures that we implement are aimed at long-term perspective of formation in our Republic of comfortable live environment, assurance of ecological well-being and effective nature protection activity. Moreover, to ensure complex solution of these important tasks and considering the wealth of water resources possessed by Tatarstan, it is planned to devote the Year 2016 to water protection areas. Created public park areas, improving water facilities will be protected and developed so that it will be possible for the citizens to have close interaction with nature and among themselves.

I am sure that respectful attitude to nature, jointly set goals and common aspiration for their achievement will allow us both to preserve the natural heritage of the Republic and to augment it.

I am sincerely grateful to all those, whose everyday activity is related to nature protection, preservation and augmentation of our natural wealth.

I wish you all happiness, peace, kindness and well-being!

Interim President of the Republic of Tatarstan                   R.N. Minnikhanov
