As part of the business program of the Ecology Day, Pavilion No. 16 Prirodograd. City of Professions (Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation) held a ceremony of initiation of the young naturalists of the Movement of the First. The ceremony was attended by Victoria Abramchenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.

"The RUSSIA EXPO provides unique opportunities, here young visitors can get acquainted with professions in the field of ecology. I know that it is very popular among children to feel like a forest firefighter, learn what it is, try on equipment and immerse themselves in this environment. Here you can also measure your carbon footprint and take part in a lot of other activities for all ages, and I believe that this is a very good tool to popularize the environmental agenda," said Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko.

The first solemn initiation into the Movement of the First's young naturalists was held within the framework of the first gathering of young naturalists, which started last summer in Kamchatka and brought together participants from different parts of the country at the All-Russian Youth Environmental Forum "Ecosystem. Protected Land" of the Rosmolodezh. Events platform. The meeting was a continuation of the initiative to revive the activities of young naturalists, supported by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, as well as the starting point in the systematic work of the Movement of the First, aimed at the formation of a unified system of environmental education of young people.

During the ceremony, the children repeated the symbolic "Oath of a Young Naturalist" after the coordinator of the community of young naturalists and received special badges symbolizing their belonging to the youth environmental movement. An educational tour of the pavilion was also organized for the young ecologists.

In turn, Victoria Abramchenko received a memorable gift from the young naturalists.

"We gave Victoria Valerievna an eco-cube, which contains the seeds of the Kremlin New year tree inside. Having germinated these seeds, you can grow an eco-fir tree at home to plant it in your garden or just outside," said Polina Pavlova, coordinator of the community of Movement of the First's young naturalists of the Moscow region.

The exposition Prirodograd. City of Professions was formed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation and is dedicated to fighting forest fires, studying carbon footprints and Antarctic ice cores. Guests of the pavilion can try on the roles of a firefighter, ecologist, meteorologist, South Pole researcher, weather forecast presenter, and then take a survey to help them understand which of these professions is most appealing to them.
