According to the mansi’s legend the loon, had dived three times to the ocean’s bottom,
took in its beak some soil for people, and this soil became the land.
Many tales and legends were composed about this mysterious bird.
Our Loon always chooses those who share the motto “Save and Preserve”,

PARTICIPANTS REVIEWS
Журналистов-экологов не очень любят, потому что экология – это то, что всегда вызывает отторжение, особенно у большого начальства. Так что главное в фестивале «Спасти и сохранить» - это то, что он как признание в любви к тем людям, которые работают в направлении экологической журналистики.
Сибирь для Европы – это, скорее, легенда, чем быль. Я хочу рассказать европейцам, что она действительно существует, что здесь есть прекрасные города, живут замечательные люди, есть хорошие отели, нетронутая природа.
Я люблю природу, люблю «пить природу» через стакан вина, люблю есть продукты, которые созданы природой. Я ненавижу систему быстрого питания, поэтому о себе думаю, что я - эколог.
В то время когда весь мир говорит о войне, когда проблем во всем мире хватает, быть здесь - это просто большая честь и счастье. Спасибо «России», что организовали такое мероприятие.
