The message reads, in part:
“This year, your creative forum marks its 5th anniversary. It has become a notable and, in many ways, unique event in the cultural as well as public life of our country. Having a noble goal, it brings together talented photographers, directors and travellers, researchers and educators, enthusiasts, keen, caring and active people, who value the beauty of Russian nature, and who, answering a call from the heart, bring their own contribution to the preservation of its diversity and take part in current environmental programmes. This year is called the Year of Volunteers, and such selfless work is especially important.”
