Save nature and help deer. Kids of 18th school took part in environmental action

Collect waste paper and send money to charity. With this in mind, the students of the Kazan school No. 18 held an environmental action in the framework of #ECOspring2017. Schoolchildren together with their parents collected 27,622 kilograms of waste paper, and the money received from the waste paper was sent to the Kazan Zoobotanical garden for the care of newborn deer. Inspectors of the Central Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan supported the children in good deeds. Today they visited the Zoo together. Environmentalists stressed that the students of the 18th school held the lead position for the last several years of the campaign. But this year, in addition to the largest amount of collected waste paper, they were stood out in another item – kids implemented social project “Friends of the Zoo.” This allowed the children to become more familiar with the world of nature. Two of the most active participants of the school campaign became the best. Dina Minnikhanova (4B form) collected over 3370 kilograms of waste paper for recycling. Fir this, she got the opportunity from the Zoo employees to give the deer a name. “I called the newborn Batman, because he looks like a superhero,” Dina said. And the second deer cub was called Leia. A fabulous name was given to the beast by Amir Shakirov, who, according to the results of the campaign, collected 2950 kg of paper. The social school project “Friends of the Zoo” will continue in the framework of the Year of Ecology and Public Spaces in the Republic of Tatarstan.
