April 5, 2014:
Results of the children’s drawing competition “Endangered plants and animals of Karelia” were summed up in the National Library of the Republic of Karelia. The competition was organized to give environmental education for children and youth and create a new multimedia resource for a project “Ecological Routes of the Red Book of Karelia”. Children in age from 7 to 12 took part in this contest.
Children’s paintings have become the basis of The Red Book of Karelia for Children. The book will be published in the framework of the project and will be a part of the educational programme. A famous Karelian writer Jana Zhemoitel wrote poems about endangered plants and animals of Karelia especially for this book.
