* The information on 2014-2015 hasn’t been finalized and will be specified as set by the project.

Unfortunately, we currently don’t have the photos, which, more or less, will show the comprehensive pictures of project implementation areas. In near future Environmental Department employees of “Teghut” CJSC intend to make visits to these areas, and to shoot and take photos of them. Hence, we are proposing “EcoLur” NGO to get involved in these works and express our willingness to make visits with pre-arranged order and schedule.”
