Protection of Natural Amenities Medal

Protection of Natural Amenities Medal

The Protection of Natural Amenities Medal ( _et. Looduskaitsemärk) was an Estonian award conferred to the trustees of Protection of Natural Amenities and other persons who are distinguished in the work of nature protection. Statutes of this award were granted by the President of the Republic, February 27, 1940.

This Medal was granted in three ranks by the Council of Protection of Natural Amenities. This is a rhombus-shaped badge (in gold, silver or bronze, respectively to the rank) with green enamel, representing small State Arms with rays and letters LK (Looduskaitse), bordered by the gable of an Estonian farmhouse above, and a pine-cone with needles below. Medal exists in full size, worn in right breast, or in miniature, worn in left buttonhole. Granting of this Medal was intended May 1 of every year but because of beginning of Soviet occupation this was granted only once, May 1, 1940. This was handed over in towns by the Mayors and in the country by the Chairmen of rural councils. In the County of Harju and in Tallinn the Director of the Institute of Protection of Natural Amenities and Tourism presented this medal. Additionally on June 20, 1940 two more medals were granted, but not handed over to recipients.
