Creators of new fairy tales were awarded at the RUSSIA EXPO
Hundreds of
new magical stories for the Reserve Tale contest organized by the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Environment were invented by children in less than a
month. The winners were awarded in the Prirodograd pavilion at the RUSSIA EXPO.

to come up with a fairy tale. There was only one condition - the hero must be
one of the priority animal species of the national project Ecology.
More than
1400 creative works from all regions of the country were sent to the contest.
These are tales about the adventures of the Amur tiger, Asian and Far Eastern
leopards, snow leopard, saiga, argali, gazelle, Polar bear, Siberian crane,
Przewalski's horse, bison, gray and bowhead whales of the Okhotsk Sea
population.

I would like to thank you and wish you a Happy New Year. I am sure that you will have an opportunity to see these red-listed animals", Alexander Kozlov, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of Russia, addressed the winners of the contest.
