On Thursday, Rosprirodnadzor head Svetlana Radionova told reporters that her agency had already received about 3,000 works, including ecology-related drawings or videos, from a number of countries, such as Mexico, Peru, and France.
"Children sent in works from almost all regions of Russia […], as well as from the most remote places in the world. Regions and continents are different, but the problem [of ecology] is the same everywhere", Rodionova underscored.
She was echoed by Miguel de la Cruz Salcedo, Rosprirodnadzor's envoy to Latin America, who touted what he described as a "remarkable project", which he said "gives all children around the world the opportunity to talk about a very important topic - ecology - and it's up to everyone".
He spoke after Rosprirodnadzor experts held a series of creative master classes at the All-Russian Children's Centre "Orlyonok" in the Crimea within the framework of the project. The Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency is one of the project's information partners.
