On June 14, within the framework of the Year of Specially Protected Natural Areas in the Republic of Tatarstan, administration of the State Nature Reserve "Kichke-Tan" organized an environmental action – a subbotnik (clean-up works) of the water protection area of the Izh River.
As is well known, water protection areas serve as a favorite place for "cultural" recreation of citizens. But for some reason after such picnics and walks heaps of garbage are left. Unfortunately, environmental education of some citizens does not allow them to clean up. As a result dumps are formed, the banks are cluttered with waste.
“Ecolyata” – young friends and defenders of nature – traditionally participated in the environmental event. Within a few hours the schoolchildren, together with their teachers, cleared the territory of the water protection area of the Izh River from garbage for more than 2 km. The children gathered plastic bottles, aluminum cans, plastic bags, paper, glass etc.
Thanks to the efforts of the activists, the water protection area was cleared up, 4 cubic meters of garbage was collected. "Ecolyata" hope that after the subbotnik the banks of the river Izh will remain clean for a long time. As is known, it's clean not where it is cleared up, but where it is not littered. During the summer period the schoolchildren together with the staff of the Kichke-Tan reserve will hold a number of "environmental task forces" aimed at cleaning of water protection places and recreation areas.
Subbotnik was visited by the delegation of the Prikamsky Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan. In conclusion of the event memorable gifts were presented to the young participants of the event. Speaking to the participants of the subbotnik, the head of State Nature Reserve "Kichke-Tan", Akhli Gaskarovich Faizullin, noted: "Collective work develops a feeling of love for the nature of the native land among the students, the desire to protect and preserve it, also contributes to the development of skills of work and ecological culture. It's amazing that, despite the young age, the younger generation thinks wisely. Children know how to see beauty and say that it will save the world. Obviously, the children worked with great enthusiasm."
