Many important events took place during this year for WWFRussia. Here are just some of the results of our work: thirteen antipoaching brigades, acting with support from WWF to protect the Amur tiger, detained 820 violators; four protected areas, with a total combined area of more than 140,000 hectares were created; five of Russia's largest timber producers began using environmentally sound technologies to harvest timber; we succeeded in facilitating the signature of an agreement by Russia and China to improve the ecological condition of Lake Khanka; and fourteen European bison calves were born in the population of freeranging European bison created by WWF in the forests of European Russia. Also very important for us in 2003 was the launch of a new programme aimed at increasing environmental responsibility in the oil and gas sector. This report presents an account of that programme's first results, as well as the achievements and challenges in other spheres of our work. Thanks to all those who helped us and who supported our projects. The number of WWFRussia supporters is growing; today we are 5,000 people strong. Support from business is growing as well. This means that, despite everything, nature conservation issues are becoming more impor tant and significant in Russia. For us, it is a great honor and responsibility to answer our members' support with action. Ahead of us thereare new goals, new directions, and the resolution of many problems. Best luck to us all in our common endevour, which is the protection of Russia's environment! Sincerely, Igor Chestin Director, WWF – Russia © Lisa & Mike Husar / Team Husar FOR A LIVING PLANET!

It is precisely in these regions of the Earth that WWF concentrates its efforts and funding. WWF is currently funding just under 2,000 To help deliver really practical results, WWF have identified six priority projects in over 100 countries worldwide, programmes: Forests for Life, Endangered Seas, Living Waters, Climate Change, Toxics, and Species. The main programmes for WWF Russia raising awareness among millions of people are the Forest, Marine, and Climate Change programmes.

  • On the Formation of Local Communities in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory in the 19Th Century
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 2020 13(7): 1065-1072 DOI: 10.17516/1997-1370-0626 УДК 93/94 On the Formation of Local Communities in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory in the 19th Century Valentina N. Asochakovaa,b and Svetlana S. Chistanova*b aSiberian Federal University Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation bKatanov Khakass State University Abakan, Republic of Khakassia, Russian Federation Received 08.07.2019, received in revised form 04.06.2020, accepted 09.07.2020 Abstract. The purpose of the article is to consider the formation of local communities in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory in the religious migrant world. The authors refer to religious migrants as migrants who left their place of permanent residence in Central Russia and moved to Siberia in the 19th century in an attempt to preserve and spread their non-Orthodox religion. The authors analyse literature, sources from the Siberian archives, scientific articles and monographs on the life of religious migrants in other regions of Siberia and the Far East. The article gives a classification of sects, adopted by pre-revolutionary scholars, examines in detail the representatives of all faiths living in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory, namely Molokans, Dukhobors, Skoptsy, Catholics and Protestants, especially Lutherans, their number, farming conditions and interaction with local population. The conclusion sets out the reasons why local communities in the studied region did not form: the border location of the region, the indigenous population, which was just beginning to accept Orthodoxy, the fragmentation and small number of sectarians. Keywords: local communities, Khakass-Minusinsk territory, religious migrants, Molokans, Dukhobors, Sabbatarians, Skoptsy, Catholics, Protestants, Lutherans.

This work deals with the spatial dynamics of the amphipod community, in which the leading positions are occupied by invaders from Baikal. The invaders spread through the Angara River not only with the current but also against the current of the Yenisei. Eight species of amphipods were identified, and there were two representatives of native fauna (Pontoporeia affinis and Gammarus sp.) and six Baikal endemics among them. Throughout the river, Gmelinoides fasciatus dom- inated quantitatively among the gammarids; Philolimnogammarus viridis took second place. Only in the lower reaches and in the delta of the Yenisei were the leading positions surrendered to Pontoporeia affinis—a repre- sentative of the estuary-relic complex of organisms.

Both legal and illegal logging are also increasing rapidly in many forest areas of Siberia (Vandergert and Newell 2003). These logged areas often have extremely high fuel loads due to logging debris and typically experience higher severity fires than unlogged forests.
