YEREVAN, September 29. \/ARKA\/.<\/strong> The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) held its fourth ecological patrol on Friday September 26. The bank\u2019s staff in Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and Tajikistan headed to environmental zones to clean and improve parks, water reservoirs, to plant trees, EDB press office reported.<\/p>\n

The aim of the event is to protect unique nature of each of the member-states, to contribute to greater public responsibility for the environment, to enhance outdoor recreation behavior, according to the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach town has its own attractions and lots of picturesque sights, preserve zones, but most of these places, unfortunately, are, to put it mildly, littered with rubbish\u201d, says the report.<\/p>\n

The garbage problem is a pressing issue for all EDB-member countries, says the report. The format and the venue of the event in each country were picked based on local needs, according to the report.<\/p>\n

This year the EDB staff cleaned the area, installed benches and litterbins at a new park at Navoi-Al-Farabi crossroad in Alma-Ati and held master classes about domestic waste recycling in the city.<\/p>\n

The EDB planted trees at Natashinsky park in Lubertsi near Moscow and organized a cleanup at Tavricheskiy park in Saint Petersburg. Young trees were planted out at Mironenko park in Dushanbe, Hrazdan forest in Yerevan and in the park of the infant oncology center in Minsk.<\/p>\n

Environmental security is an issue to be dealt with not only by public agencies, but by the society as a whole. Annual eco-patrol is EBD\u2019s small, yet important contribution to the environmental protection, head of EDB board Igor Finogenov said.<\/p>\n
