Dmitry Patrushev took part in the XI Nevsky International Ecological Congress
Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Patrushev took part in the events of the XI Nevsky International Ecological Congress. After the plenary session, together with the Chairperson of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko and colleagues from foreign countries, Dmitry Patrushev planted a tree as part of the “Garden of Memory” campaign.
“We pay great attention to forest restoration. In 2025, Russia plans to restore forests on an area of over 1.3 million hectares. This work is being carried out within the framework of a separate federal project of the national project “Ecological Well-being”. Volunteers – participants in environmental campaigns also contribute to it every year. Thus, the traditional environmental and patriotic campaign “Garden of Memory” is held throughout the country and abroad. It is dedicated to the memory of those who died during the Great Patriotic War. Such events, among other things, contribute to environmental education, preservation and transmission of historical memory of the exploits of our heroes to the younger generation. Over the five years of the campaign, millions of volunteers from 78 countries of the world have joined in planting memorial gardens, who, through joint efforts, have planted over 130 million memorial trees,” said Dmitry Patrushev.
On the sidelines of the Nevsky International Ecological Congress, Dmitry Patrushev held two international meetings – with the Vice President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, head of the Environmental Protection Organization Shina Ansari and the representative of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan on climate issues Mukhtar Babayev. Russia works with both countries within the framework of the Tehran Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea.
Russia and Iran are actively strengthening ties in the field of environmental conservation. There are two working groups: on water management and on ecology. The two countries also continue to work together to restore the population of the Persian leopard. In 2016, the first two individuals, transferred by the Iranian side, were released into the wild. Currently, 12 leopards live in the wild in the Russian part of the Caucasus. Dmitry Patrushev invited his Iranian colleagues to visit the Leopard Restoration Center in Sochi.
At a meeting with the representative of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan on climate issues Mukhtar Babayev, the main topic was the shallowing of the Caspian Sea. Last year, a Russian-Azerbaijani working group was formed on this issue. Russia and Azerbaijan agreed to develop a joint program to solve this problem. Dmitry Patrushev said that it is planned to approve it this year.
The Deputy Prime Minister also drew attention to the need to form a common regulatory framework for interaction between Russia and Azerbaijan in the field of environmental protection.
