At the moment, the participants went to Adygea to get acquainted with the development of eco-tourism in Russia. There are a number of unique places here, for example, one of the thirteen UNESCO natural Sites in Russia – the Biosphere Nature Reserve of the Caucasus, its northern part with the directorate in the village of Guzeripl. The students visited the aviary of the Caucasian Reserve, the museum-reserve, and also got acquainted with natural monuments: the Circassian Stone, the Granite Gorge of the Belaya River, the canyon of the Belaya River, the Khadjokh Gorge, the waterfalls of the Rufagbo River and the Dakh River within the Dakhovsky Reserve.
