On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Great Leader Heydar Aliyev, a large-scale tree planting campaign was held in Azerbaijan’s Lankaran district.

Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, founder and head of IDEA Public Union Leyla Aliyeva, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Mukhtar Babayev attended the tree-planting campaign in the Lankaran district.

The campaign with the participation of young volunteers saw the planting of argan trees listed in the Azerbaijan’s Red Book.

It was followed by a symbolic marking of the ecotourism trail in Hirkan National Park using the "Czech model" to facilitate movement for hikers.

Lastly, seven crested porcupines – an important local species - provided by the Baku Zoological Park were released into the wild.
