It was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 and since then has been celebrated annually throughout the world and is celebrated on June 5th.
Event importance
The reason for this worldwide action was the famous “Cop Appeal” received on May 11, 1971 by the UN Secretary General, which was signed by 2,200 scientists and cultural figures from 23 countries. They warned humanity about the unprecedented danger threatening it due to pollution environment. “Either we end pollution, or it ends us,” was the question posed in this appeal. A year later, a world conference on environmental protection took place in Stockholm, which was attended by authorized representatives of 113 countries of the world, including Soviet Union. The conference participants decided to hold it annually world day environment June 5.
Environment Day- this is a reason to think about environmental problems, to pay attention to the state of the environment. It's no secret that with the development of the industrial industry and most other processes of human life, the environmental situation is worsening every day. In every country there are organizations whose main task is environmental protection. These units monitor the state of the environment and carry out various events and campaigns to protect it. In addition, within the UN framework several times a year it is customary to celebrate days for the protection of water, air, and so on.
Similar days of protection for various ecological environments improvements in the environmental situation are aimed at, they serve as a reason for carrying out environmental protection measures. On this World Environment Day, environmental protection campaigns and events are taking place all over the world, calling for people not to ignore the problems of the environmental situation, but to take the path of resolving these problems.
Today it becomes obvious that our future, the future of humanity and the planet as a whole, largely depends on our ability to solve pressing environmental problems: environmental pollution, natural or man-made disasters, depletion of biological diversity of resources, destruction of natural and cultural landscapes as a consequence negative human impact or natural disasters.
Ecological problem modern world not only sharp, but also multifaceted. It manifests itself in almost all sectors of material production (especially in agriculture, chemical industry, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, nuclear energy), is relevant to all regions of the planet.
The global consequences of habitat disruption have affected all countries, as ecological problems“do not recognize” state borders. Therefore, they can only be resolved with broad international cooperation. Acting in this direction, the international document “World Conservation Strategy” was adopted.
Nature conservation strategy
The World Conservation Strategy is a wildlife conservation strategy announced (March 5, 1980) by most countries of the world, prepared by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and natural resources(IUCN) with consultation, cooperation and financial support from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the World Fund wildlife(WWF), UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UNESCO and other international non-governmental organizations.
The main goals of the WSOP boil down to identifying the most important needs for nature conservation; determining ways and methods to ensure them; identifying ecosystems and animal species most in need of emergency protection measures; an accessible explanation of the reasons behind the need for timely adoption of measures to protect nature and indication of sources of information on these issues, conveying to the highest levels of the public the idea that nature conservation is one of the integral elements of the process of balanced (sustainable) socio-economic development. VSOP offers a system rational methods management of human activities in the use of biosphere resources and individual ecosystems, which are its main elements, in such a way that it provides the greatest opportunities for the reproduction of biosphere resources that are necessary to meet the needs and development of future generations.
The information network, as well as the process of globalization, which gives rise to dramatic changes in economic and social terms and at the same time many environmental problems, can and should be useful in combating these problems. They must be based on a sound strategy for improving the environmental situation and on the support of an informed public opinion aimed at protecting the environment. Education and attracting public attention to issues, and above all, environmental issues, are of paramount importance.
World Environment Day (Ecologist's Day) is celebrated on June 5th. International holiday environmental protection was adopted in 1972 by a resolution adopted at the Stockholm Conference concerning environmental issues. The main goal of this holiday is to awaken in people the desire to take care of the environment. In Russia, it was decided to proclaim this day a professional day for ecologists and environmental defenders. The holiday was adopted on July 21, 2007 by Decree of President V.V. Putin No. 933 “On Ecologist Day” thanks to the initiative of the Ecology Committee working under the State Duma. These holidays are celebrated by holding rallies, drawing competitions, posters and essays among schoolchildren, parades, events for planting green spaces and cleaning areas.

Both on weekdays and on holidays there is a lot of work,
Only there is no turning back.
Who else will watch the river?
So that people can drink without fear?
Who will filter emissions like this?
So that the cape can breathe calmly?
So, environmentalists, it’s time to work.
We will be proud of your work.
More aspirations and higher income
May the environment bring you...
The planet is breathing heavily
She's been tired of us for a long time.
The earth is a living organism,
There is little room for outrages.
Plants, fauna,
And also air and water -
Everything was turned into a terrible shooting gallery,
It's time to get rid of us!
When such people exist...
...ecologists - let us remind you right away,
The home planet is given honor.
They have a goal - to save nature!
Let our planet be safe,
This one fact makes life more beautiful.
So that officials appreciate your covenants
Yes, the filters were quickly installed on the pipe.
May our dawn be pure and wonderful,
And the world is big, diverse, interesting.
We wish you every success in your noble work,
So that the violation does not hide from you, do not hide it.
Find paths to success,
Work slowly and little by little,
Good luck with your big spoon!
June 5 is World Environment Day. It was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 and since then has been celebrated annually by the entire world community. The reason for this worldwide action was an appeal received on May 11, 1971 by the UN Secretary General. The appeal was signed by 2,200 scientists and cultural figures from 23 countries.

Forests play an important role in the global economy, providing income for 1.6 billion people on our planet. The forest serves as a source of wood and its products, food and medicinal resources and other material assets.
The value of forests comes down to more than just economic benefits. Forests play a critical role in conserving biodiversity and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Forest is the habitat of approximately 3/4 of all species of plants, animals and fungi existing on our planet. The forest is part of the cultural and historical environment, under the influence of which the culture and customs of entire nations are formed.
The main events of World Environment Day 2011 will take place in Mumbai and Delhi (India).
On June 5, domestic environmentalists also celebrate their professional holiday. The corresponding decree was signed by Vladimir Putin on June 21, 2007.
The appearance of this holiday in Russia emphasizes the importance professional activity state environmental institutions at all levels, non-governmental environmental organizations and everyone who contributes to the conservation of nature and the environment.
Environmental protection issues are among the priority issues of political, economic and public life country, being one of the national security tasks. Citizens' right Russian Federation for a favorable environment is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
By expert assessments In the field of environmental protection, about 20 thousand people work in the authorities state power Russian Federation and federal government institutions. At enterprises various industries At least 200 thousand environmental specialists work in the national economy and in the field of environmental services. From 60 to 100 thousand specialists work in scientific and scientific-educational institutions of environmental protection, and the number of students in secondary specialized and higher education educational institutions and graduate students amount to 40-45 thousand. There are more than 1,000 public environmental organizations in Russia that unite millions of citizens.
As part of the celebration of World Environment Day - Ecologist's Day in 2011, it is planned to hold events that promote the process of sustainable environmentally oriented socio-economic development of society, maintaining a global environmental dialogue between the Russian and international communities.
June 10, 2011 in the Small Hall of the State Duma Federal Assembly The Russian Federation will host a solemn meeting dedicated to World Environment Day - Ecologist's Day.
At the ceremonial meeting, the results of the “National Ecological Award” competition for 2011 will be summed up, and Certificates of Honor will be awarded to particularly distinguished representatives of the professional community of ecologists.

In honor of World Environment Day and Ecologist's Day, St. Petersburg MIPC is launching a promotion with holiday discounts on education.
We are part of nature. Nature can exist perfectly without us, but we cannot exist without it. It sounds a little cruel, but this is exactly the situation that should motivate us to careful attitude to the environment. For this reason, the holiday, which is celebrated on the fifth of June, is so important for humanity. When we talk about importance, we do not mean the number of people involved in its celebration (70% of the world’s inhabitants have hardly even heard of such a day), but about the potential benefits that such a holiday can and should bring. Why potential? Because, despite periodic actions organized by environmentalists, the actual percentage of this protection is incredibly small. Compared to the harm that we cause to the Earth through our activities, it is completely insignificant. Just think about it, according to official data, every sixth inhabitant of the planet has his own personal car. And if we add to this number public transport: trams, trains, ships and planes, the number is completely incredible. Modern humanity cannot imagine its existence without enterprises, factories, factories and farms. Every year, about 8 million hectares of forest are cut down in the world, tens of billions of animals are destroyed. All of this, individually and collectively, causes irreparable harm to nature, and therefore to our health, because we drink water contaminated with chemicals and breathe air poisoned by exhaust gases.
For the first time, the need to start taking care of nature was seriously discussed at a conference in Stockholm in 1972. After numerous appeals from a huge number of cultural figures to the UN Secretary General, the participants in the Swedish forum were inspired by the idea of awakening people's desire to participate in preserving the ecosystem of our planet. It was then that World Environment Day was invented and approved, which is celebrated every year on June 5th.
The main idea of the holiday is the universal unification of the forces of all countries and peoples of the world. After all, we are all inhabitants of planet Earth. We are all consumers of its resources. You must be able to not only take, but also give. The date June 5 is just a reminder of the need for care; it does not mean that you need to take any measures only on this day. You need to take care of your home globally and daily. Only by uniting can we help our nature. Reduce the amount of harmful emissions into the world's oceans and air, introduce restrictions on hunting and catch, properly process and dispose of waste, as well as create parks and reserves - the primary tasks that humanity must fulfill. In Russia, June 5 is also celebrated as Ecologist Day.
In honor of this important holiday The Irkutsk branch of the St. Petersburg Interdisciplinary Institute for Advanced Studies is holding a promotion. From June 5 to June 30, the institute invites you to improve your qualifications under the program “ Environmental Safety» for only 2500 rubles. In addition, you can choose another topic related to environmental protection. Call toll free hotline or order a call back on the website. Our operator will help you choose the appropriate program, tell you what documents you need to collect and send you all the materials for training. After completion, we will send your advanced training certificate by mail at our expense. We remind you that training is carried out remotely, so you can study without interrupting your main job. Help save our planet from destruction and save a home for your children.
