The children showed a special interest in the information about the eared hedgehog registered in the Red List. They actively shared their stories about different Red List plants, insects and mammals they had seen, talked about the help of people when they are among the beautiful and so fragile natural world.

Doing the presentation quiz the children guessed animals, plants and birds registered in the Red List of Threatened Species of the Rostov Region.

At the end of the event, everyone came to the conclusion: “We mustn’t destroy the nature, but must love and protect it!”
