A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed to establish the first environmental protection conservatory in northern Iran, marking a significant step in the country’s commitment to environmental education and preservation.
The MoU was signed by the Director General of the Department of the Environment of Mazandaran, Kavian, and the Director General of Education of the province, Kamali. The news was reported IRIB News agency, citing the Department of the Environment’s information base.
Ziaoddin Almasi, the head of the Environmental Education and Training Center of the Department of the Environment, outlined the conservatory’s objectives. He emphasized that students would be recruited based on the needs of the organizations, with targeted training provided according to job requirements.
Almasi highlighted that the graduates would have employment opportunities in various sectors, including tourism, relief, rescue, and the Red Crescent.
