The human factor, which undoubtedly affects the environment, is undeniable, which is why each country attaches great importance to controlling the environmental situation in the regions, as well as controlling natural resources.

The date of May 23 for the holiday was chosen due to the fact that on this day in 2001, by Decree of the President of the Republic №485, in accordance with structural reforms in the government of the country, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan (Azərbaycan Respublikasinin Ekologiya və Təbii Sərvətlər Nazirliyi) was created, which is responsible today for regulating activities in the country related to ecology, environmental protection and the use of natural resources.
