Currently, the ecological situation of the planet is in a rather difficult state. Scientists around the world are striving to develop new projects to improve the current situation. New devices and units are being created, the use of which does not disturb the ecological balance, new trends in the development of all areas of human life are being introduced, all kinds of measures are being taken to curb irrational use of natural resources, and various projects are being created aimed at familiarizing the inhabitants of the planet with its natural conditions. One of such events was the Ecological Trail project. The created set of measures is intended to educate the population with the help of the media, as well as the practical study of natural resources, both in a particular area and in the entire surrounding world. The purpose of creating such projects is to expand the horizons and nurture the responsibility for nature protection among all segments of the population, as well as the conservation and protection of the existing biological diversity.
The creation of the "Ecological trail" has several functions: developing, educational and educational. Let's consider each of them in more detail.
The first one is designed for the rational organization of outdoor activities, competitions, as well as orienteering training. The educational function informs tourists about objects and processes of animate and inanimate nature, teaches them to notice and analyze occurring phenomena, as well as the influence of various factors, including anthropogenic, on the state and development of the environment. In addition, an important goal of this function is to awaken interest in the further study of ecology and biology. The "ecological path" also has an educational character, contributing to the manifestation of environmental consciousness among various segments of the population, the study of the rules of the relationship between man and nature.
During the route, the excursionists of the "Ecological trail" project may be asked to perform several simple tasks: to characterize the climatic conditions of the area or the geological description of the area, to analyze the observed biocenoses, in which living organisms found in the area participate.
The "Ecological trail" project includes several main stages: preparatory, research, generalizing. By their names, you can immediately recognize the role of each of them. To begin with, it is necessary to explain to the participants the goals and rules of the excursion or trip. Thenthe direct conduct of the event follows, and then the study and analysis of the data obtained, the consolidation of skills and knowledge.
If you want to become the organizer of the "Ecological trail" project, you need to develop an original route and concept. In addition, attention should also be paid to the results of a survey of the proposed venue for such events (for example, identifying places where information signs need to be installed or the roadway needs to be updated).
