Advance Training Program on Conservation
Ecology and Environmental Conservation
The Ecology and Environmental Conservation program has been developed by the Training Center for Ecology and Safety on special request of the Samara Region Ministry of Nature Resources. It provides advance training and additional professional education for managers and specialists of governmental authorities, and for managers of environmental services of industrial enterprises.
Lectures are given by leading specialists of the Samara Region Ministry of Natural Resources, experts of the Samara City Environmental Prosecutor’s Office and by senior lectures of Samara universities.
The program was launched on October 2006. Due to its highly professional level and practical value it proved that the subject had been very popular through middle-level specialists and top managers of environmental services. Municipal and regional administration authorities were even more interested in the program since their specialists had no even time to adapt to frequently changing environmental laws and regulations. The program provides a legislative basis to learn rights, responsibilities and obligations of local environmental departments.
