An art exhibition entitled “The World of Unique Migratory Species” was organized within the framework of the 14th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS COP14) in Samarkand.

The opening ceremony was attended by the Minister of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change of Uzbekistan Aziz Abdukhakimov, heads of international organizations, and forum participants.

The organizers noted that the primary goal of the creative project is to strengthen the feeling of love for the surrounding nature and the desire to preserve migratory species listed in the Red Book of Uzbekistan, as well as to raise ecological culture and expand the environmental knowledge of the younger generation.

The exhibition presents about 100 paintings by 40 young artists selected following the results of the plein air organized in January this year by the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change, together with the Academy of Arts and the State Museum of Arts of Uzbekistan. The jury of the exhibition will select the best creative works, the authors of which will be awarded with cash prizes.

The exhibition is open to residents and guests for a month.
