Vladislav Atmakhov: "Nizhny Novgorod Region demonstrates leadership positions in the field of ecology"

      May 28, 2026 16:46 Society The chairman of the Legislative Assembly Committee on Ecology and Natural Resources, Vladislav Atmakhov, commented on Governor Gleb Nikitin's report on the work of the Nizhny Novgorod region government in 2025. The report was presented at a regional parliament meeting on May 28. "More attention is being paid to the ecological agenda in the region. It includes both large federal projects and regional initiatives aimed at improving the state of the environment and forming an ecological culture," the deputy stated. Atmakhov noted that the Nizhny Novgorod region demonstrates significant leadership positions in forest relations, as confirmed by various ratings and achievements. "The region has become one of the leaders in Russia in the compensatory reforestation program. We widely use digital technologies. This includes the use of space monitoring for controlling forest use and the 'Lesnik' device for detecting and preventing illegal logging. Drones are widely used to detect forest fires," the parliamentarian continued. "Targeted work is underway to develop environmental education. The Ecological Enlightenment Center 'Ekotorium' is the first platform in the region that brings together effectively operating ecological organizations, eco-oriented businesses, and eco-volunteer organizations," emphasized Vladislav Atmakhov.
