For schools

Educational programs focus on developing better relations of the individual to the environment, as well as increasing the awareness of the principles and processes ongoing in nature. For pupils and students, we have prepared PowerPoint presentations and environmental games, which give incentives for building a society of sustainable development, strengthening cooperation, while leaving the ability to excel. Finally, students will have the opportunity to meet the Eurasian fauna and flora directly and hands-on.
