Solemn ceremony of awarding of the winners of annual Republican contests ‘ECOleader” and “Man and Nature” organized by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan was held in Kazan, at the Cultural and Entertainment Complex “Pyramid”. Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan Ildar Khalikov participated in the event. “Each participant has sincere feelings for these contests understanding how important they are for our Republic, - he acknowledged in his welcome speech, - to us, as an industrially developed region with a high share of oil industry and petrochemistry, it is especially important and complicated. Despite all of that, Tatarstan moves forward – not only do we implement programs, but we also make great contribution into daily assurance of the ecological safety of the Republic making our air, rivers, forests, fields, lands and soils cleaner. This is how the Republic is seen both by its citizens and its guests” – said the Prime Minister. He also acknowledged that many large companies of Tatarstan proudly tell about their ecology-related programs that form the basis of their work.  The Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan, Farid Abdulganiev, emphasized that the contest committee faced not an easy task, since about a thousand pieces of work were submitted for the contest, and each of those pieces provided evidence of the true aspiration to make contribution into a noble task of preservation of nature of the motherland: “Everyone, from nurseries to the largest industrial companies – flagship companies of the Republic, were involved in the work”. The Minister wished success and new victories in the field of ecological safety assurance to everyone and expressed hope that the work would be as fruitful in the next year, 2016, announced by the President of the Republic of Tatarstan as the “Year of Water Protection Areas”.
