The article highlights the significance of Volga Day, a 15-year-plus tradition aimed at drawing attention to the critical need for ecosystem conservation along the Volga River, a vital water source for over a third of Russia's population. This initiative underscores the urgency to combat environmental issues like pollution and habitat destruction, focusing particularly on sturgeon spawning grounds. In this context, the article emphasizes the collaborative efforts between state agencies, regional authorities, and organizations to execute the national 'Ecology' project and the federal 'Improvement of the Volga' project. These initiatives are designed to enhance fish breeding and migration, with a notable success in 2023 that saw the release of over 29.8 million juvenile sturgeon and over 1.47 billion juvenile other fish species into the Volga basin's waterways, surpassing their respective release targets. The article concludes by mentioning the ongoing plans for 2024 to continue these restoration and replenishment efforts, highlighting the collective commitment to revitalize the Volga River ecosystem.
