Conclusion
The pictures by Fyodor Aleksandrovich Saraev presented during our virtual excursion will help you to see a timid beauty of the native region, and touch the amazing and unique world of the wild Nature which lives next to us. It is important for the growing generation to love the nature of the Caspian region, its Small Motherland. It is especially easy to feel the fragility of the universe due to the increasing rate of the development of the Caspian lowland. We would really like to set a culture of respectful attitude towards older generation and careful and respectful attitude towards land, mountains, sea, plants and animals that lived long before the appearance of a man on our planet.
