According to Azartac, a section of the article entitled “Think Big, Act Now for Nature: Unexpected Common Ground Between Montana, Azerbaijan and the Middle East” devoted to Azerbaijan reads:“Last month I was speaking at a large wildlife conference in Baku, Azerbaijan. Leyla Aliyeva, the daughter of the president and chair of the International Dialogue Environmental Action (IDEA) had invited me there, along with 750 other participants and speakers from around the world. In her opening comments she encouraged those of us heading up large conservations efforts to ensure our efforts include opportunities for regular folk, particularly young people -- and not just scientists and conservationists -- to access and enjoy the large protected places we are assembling.Azerbaijan, just now embarking on ambitious conservation efforts, is as varied topographically and as beautiful as Montana but currently lacks the infrastructure such as campgrounds and interpretive facilities to accommodate Azerbaijanis who want to spend more than just an afternoon picnicking in nature. Leyla's goal is to help build a new generation of conservationists in the Caucasus region that have a reverence for pristine natural areas with an abundance of wildlife. She believes the way to do it is involve youth in the creation of protected areas, not to just be the beneficiaries of it”.Bakudaily.az
