The message reads, in part:
“Over the years, the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Nature has evolved into a prominent and respected public organisation. Today, it unites within its ranks and rallies around its noble goals representatives of various professions, ages, and generations, including prominent scientists, researchers, volunteers, school and university students, and entire teams.
Your endeavours are directed at preserving our natural treasures through the implementation of extensive environmental, scientific, and outreach projects, as well as educational programmes for children and youth. I would like to particularly highlight the Society’s much-needed initiatives that contribute significantly to the preservation of our reserve areas, unique water resources, and biodiversity of ecosystems.”
