Deputy Minister of Ecology Olga Manidicheva took part in the round table. In her speech, she spoke about the Ministry of Ecology's project to revive the Volga-Kama Saker falcon population.

As part of a large press conference, Ecology Minister Alexander Shadrikov told reporters in more detail at what stage the project is currently at to revive the population of saker falcon chicks. The falcons brought to the Kama Estuary at the end of June have already been released into the wild.

At the end of June, 6 saker falcon chicks were taken to the Kamsko-Ustinsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan, where they were under the protection of ornithologists and volunteers, and later released into the wild. All the falcons started to fly, began to hunt independently and explore new territories.

This year, the main stages of the project were the delivery of 10 chicks from the Peregrine Falcon nursery (Moscow region) and the establishment of a volunteer camp.
