AGREEMENT STRENGTHENS TIES BETWEEN US AND RUSSIA

The people of Nome and the surrounding villages are at the forefront of a major international initiative linking nations across the Bering Strait. The National Park Service and the residents of the Bering Straits region will soon be working even more closely with their counterparts in Russia. Cooperation in the shared region of Beringia in both Alaska and Chukotka, Russia is a major priority at the highest levels of government. In mid-September, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Russiaʼs Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will likely sign an agreement concerning the establishment of a transboundary protected area in Beringia. The formalization of the relationship between the National Park Service and Russiaʼs Ministry of Natural Resources acknowledges the mutual interests of both countries in the ongoing conservation, protection, and management of protected areas in the Beringia region. The purpose of this agreement would be to strengthen the relationships and maintain the ties between indigenous people, scientists, educators, students, elders, and youth.

While the signing of this agreement may not directly affect or change anything for many of the residents of the region, it will create opportunities for everyone. Because it is at the highest levels of government, the attention will shine a spotlight on the region and the resulting economic benefits will be felt by all. It is anticipated that the improved infrastructure in both Alaska and Russia will foster eco-tourism and adventure travel. Of special importance to the residents of Nome and the surrounding villages, the agreement recognizes the importance of family ties, language, and the protection of shared cultural traditions.

The two countries, through their respective agencies, further agree to support the protection and maintenance of sustainable subsistence hunting. The agreement is a significant step towards the official designation of the “Trans boundary Area of Shared Beringian Heritage,” which will eventually include existing Alaska parklands. Since 1991, the creation of a transboundary area has been sought through the National Park Serviceʼs funding of partnerships between Russians and Americans. To this end, the United States plans to contribute the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and Cape Krusenstern National Monument, totaling 3.2 million acres. New lands will not be obligated on the Alaska side and regulations regarding subsistence, access to resources, and land use will not change. The corresponding lands on the Russian side total 4.2 million acres, and are spread throughout the region. While the agreement will not officially create this transboundary area, it is a meaningful effort towards this goal. The signing of an agreement at such a high level will distinguish the existing partnerships and collaborative projects. The Beringia region will stand as a dramatic example of cooperation between nations who share natural and cultural resources.
