Engineering Troops Day in Ukraine

On this day, we honor the role of the engineering troops that ensure the safety and defense of our country. Engineering troops play an important role in the construction and maintenance of defense structures, demining territories, and solving various engineering tasks during military operations.

Social Sphere Worker Day

This holiday falls on the first Sunday of November. We honor social sphere workers who provide social services and help improve people's lives. They play an important role in supporting people in difficult situations and helping vulnerable groups such as the disabled, pensioners, and orphans.

International Day of Biosphere Reserves

This day emphasizes the importance of biosphere reserves for preserving biodiversity and ecosystems. Biosphere reserves are special natural areas that help conserve rare species and maintain natural processes in balance.

This day highlights the role of jellyfish in marine ecosystems. Jellyfish perform an important function in maintaining ocean balance but can also be dangerous to humans due to their poisonous stingers.
