At the final board of the Department, the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan emphasized the importance of environmental monitoring.

In 898 court cases, 75% were accepted in our favor."

"Today there are 315 licenses for the extraction of CUM on the territory of the republic. The increase in proven reserves for the year amounted to more than 300 million m3. There is no shortage.
