As part of the CANSO Global ATM Summit 2024 and 28th AGM, a
ceremony was held to release 5,000 sturgeons into their natural
habitat. This initiative, which took place in Neftchala, was
undertaken to restore the endangered sturgeon population in the
Caspian Basin.
The event was attended by representatives of AZAL, AZANS, CANSO, as
well as family members of the summit participants. The joint
efforts of these organizations aim to have a long-term positive
impact on the Caspian Sea ecosystem. The initiative also
demonstrates their renewed collaboration and commitment to
environmental stewardship and biodiversity conservation.
Sturgeon occupies a unique place in the Caspian Sea ecosystem,
being not only an inhabitant of its depths but also a source of one
of the most coveted delicacies in the world — caviar.
The CANSO ATM Summit 2024 and 28th AGM convened in Baku from June
11 to 13, drawing around 300 civil aviation leaders from over 80
countries.
With a focus on environmental sustainability, the event seeks to
engage air traffic management industry leaders to make crucial
decisions, share expertise, and foster meaningful dialogue.
