Breath Eco Tour around the Baikal Region

On 9-10 August 2018, within the framework of the Eco Year in Russia, the Olkhon Island hosted the international Save Baikal eco campaign. Olkhon is known as the largest and most sacred island on Lake Baikal. This event brought together guests from all over Russia and the world, as well as natives of the Irkutsk Region, the Republic of Buryatia, and Olkhon Island. The campaign includes a cleanup of the shore, forest zone, and mainland areas. Education was provided on recyclable and non-recyclable materials, and why they should be separated. The project is aimed at improving the communication on ecological conservation efforts between the locals, tourists, administration, business sector, and the national parks administration.
