We have all known since childhood how important it is to take care of nature. Protecting the planet — its animals and plants, air and water bodies — is a vital necessity for all of us. That is why eco-initiatives matter so much, whether it is waste sorting, tree planting, support for environmentally friendly production or educational work.
On May 3, 2026, a significant environmental event took place in a picturesque spot on Kustovoy Island, on the banks of the Inya River under the Bugrinsky Bridge. GLADIATOR was proud to take part in this important event, aimed at restoring the river’s fish stocks as part of the “FISH MUST LIVE!” project.
We contributed to the installation of 1,200 artificial spawning grounds — this is not just a number, but real care for creating ideal conditions for the natural reproduction of fish in the Ob waters. The spawning grounds, made of spruce branches, will not only help restore the fish population but will also do no harm to nature, as over time they will decompose naturally and become part of the river’s ecosystem.
The windy weather did not deter 40 caring participants in their effort to preserve the aquatic biological resources of the area. Among them were very young ecologists, who received special attention: engaging quizzes were organized for them, and they were given educational “Econavigator” books for children and commemorative key rings.
And, of course, everyone who wished could take a ride on GLADIATOR boats!
We thank the organizers — the “ECONAVIGATOR” Green Movement and the Novosibirsk Regional Fishing Sports Federation — for the invitation and the opportunity to be part of this noble cause. We are especially grateful to all supporting organizations and our partners for their invaluable contribution, including the Federal Agency for Fisheries territorial department, the Upper Ob branch of the Glavrybvod Federal State Budgetary Institution, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Novosibirsk Region, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Novosibirsk Region, the Novosibirsk regional branch of OPORA RUSSIA, Iskra Novosibirsk Machine-Building Plant, the BADIS store chain, TornadoAero, the “Dialogi o rybalke” and “Okhota i rybalka” TV channels, the Vesti Russia TV channel and the OTS TV channel.
GLADIATOR is always ready to support initiatives aimed at preserving nature and the future of our rivers. Thank you to everyone who shared this day with us and contributed to the common cause!
