"For all the years of the campaign "Water of Russia", 9.5 million volunteers took part in the clean-up. They collected and removed almost 11 million bags of garbage from the shores of water bodies – this is about 91 thousand KamAZ trucks. In 2023, 1,576,711 volunteers took part in the coastal cleanup. They carried out about 28 thousand activities, cleaned 38,459 kilometers of coastlines and removed 1,847,737 bags filled with 146,645 cubic meters of garbage," the message says.
According to the results of this year's campaign, Tatarstan took the first place, which has become the leader for the third time in a row.
Karachay-Cherkessia is in second place. North Ossetia closes the top three. The fourth and fifth places went to Ingushetia and Bashkiria, respectively.
The All-Russian campaign to clean up debris from the shores of water bodies "Water of Russia" has been held since 2014.
Participants discussed the boundary between nature and ecotourism, whether mass visits to unique areas can remain safe, the responsibilities of investors, and how to prepare tourists for visiting specially protected natural areas.
The head of state expressed confidence that the Forum will be held at a high level, and that its results will contribute to the development of tourism in Russia and the expansion of humanitarian and business ties.
