BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 31. On the
initiative of Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev
Foundation and founder and head of the IDEA Public Union, a festive
event was organized at the Baku Zoological Park for children from
low-income families on the occasion of World Azerbaijanis
Solidarity Day and the New Year, Trend reports.
A special holiday program was prepared for children from
low-income families living in Absheron, Nizami, and Garadagh
districts. A total of 150 children – 50 from each district –
participated in the event.
During their visit, the young guests closely acquainted
themselves with various animal species at the zoo. Zoo guides
provided detailed information to the children about the animals'
lifestyles, habitats, and feeding habits, tailored to their
age.
The children were also informed about the process of releasing
certain animal and bird species back into the wild and adapting
them to their natural environments. It was particularly emphasized
that the Baku Zoological Park is not merely a place for keeping
animals but also a key center for preserving biodiversity,
especially breeding endangered species native to Azerbaijan and
reintroducing them into the wild. The educational tour sparked
great interest among the children, contributing to shaping their
attitudes toward nature and animals while fostering ecological
awareness.
The event concluded with entertainment activities and lunch for
the children.
