The Ministry of Ecology urges vacationers to refrain from picking tulips

As temperatures rise in Uzbekistan, many are heading outdoors for recreation, prompting the Ministry of Ecology to issue a plea.

Currently, instances of littering, deforestation of protected plants, arson, and environmental pollution are on the rise.

Consequently, the Ministry urges vacationers to:

- Properly dispose of household waste.

- Ensure the extinguishing of ash and flammable materials.

- Respect plants in green areas.

- Refrain from illegally harvesting plants listed in the Red Book, including tulips.

- Exercise restraint around wild animals and avoid causing harm.

Violations will result in punitive measures under relevant administrative laws.

"In case of witnessing environmental violations in recreational areas, contact the Ministry of Ecology at (71 207-11-07), or notify the Internal Affairs or the National Guard. Remember, environmental protection is a shared responsibility," emphasizes the ministry.
