YOUNG ECOLOGICAL INSPECTOR SCHOOL — 2001
August 8 — 15, 2001 , regional public organization “Tomsk Ecological Students
Inspection named after Lev Blinov” (TESI) with financial support of PERC ( USA)
and Regional State Department “ OblKompriroda” (Tomsk Oblast Nature Committee)
was holding the 3rd Young Ecological Inspector School (YEIS—2001).
Over 50 people (students and organizers) from 20 organizations of Siberia and
Far East (NGOs, nature reserves, and funds).
The idea of annual YEIS was given birth to even in 1998 at the All-Russia Meeting of Nature Conservation Student Guards. The first School took place in 1999 in Tomsk, the second – the next year in the Lake Baikal district. This time the YEIS base was located at the Lake Teletskoye encampment in Gorny Altai.
The main training modules were as follows: public ecological control, public
eco-monitoring, wild life conservation (hunting and fish resources), forest
protection, biodiversity conservation. Additionally, there were also workshops
on ecological mass media and public relations, eco-education, and ecological
programmes modeling.
Theoretical modules were supported with large volume of printed materials distributed
among the participants, including methodical guidelines “The File of Public
Conservation Inspector” developed and published specially for the occasion.
The file includes extracts from basic normative documents, methodical guidelines
as well as useful practical advice. Practical workshops were held at sawmill
enterprises (inspection checks), the lake Teletskoye (fish resource protection)
and nursery forests.
Exams on all the subjects were taken during the last day of the School. Practically all the participants passed them successfully from the start.
