Accepted: 10.04.2021. Protected Areas (PAs) perform essential biological and landscape diversity conservation functions. They also serve as na- ture labs and experimental grounds for various sorts of monitoring research around the world. An object for environmen- tal co-operation between neighbouring countries is an international PA, such as the Finnish-Russian Friendship Nature Reserve with Kostomuksha State Nature Reserve as its component part. Research in its Russian part has been conducted by scientists from the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Russian universities and PAs in collaboration with their foreign colleagues. This special issue of the journal Nature Conservation Research celebrates an anniversary of the foundation of the international Friendship Nature Reserve. It reports some results and current data on the state of ecosystems and their components both in the Kostomuksha State Nature Reserve and in some other PAs of Russia and Finland.

  • Typology and Cultural-Chronological Variability of Bifacially Worked Implements of Siliceous Rocks from the Territory of Russian Karelia
    Typology and cultural-chronological variability of bifacially worked implements of siliceous rocks from the territory of Russian Karelia Alexey TARASOV Bifacially worked implements made of siliceous rocks constitute one of the most sig­ nificant groups of lithic tools from archaeological sites in present-day Karelia from the Neolithic to the Early Metal Period. In the present paper a generalised description of these artefacts during the whole period of their existence is given and the typology of these implements is discussed. The spread of bifacial industry, which was followed by the disappearance of blade industries, can be considered an epochal phenomenon, one of composing parts of the "Neolithic package" along with pottery production. The main tendencies in the development of bifacial industry were common for a very large territory of the forested zone of eastern Europe.

    Pilot study of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves within the Barents Region and the possibilities for collaboration Laplandskiy BR Vindelälven-Juhttátahkka BR Metsola BR Vodlozerskiy BR North Karelian BR Kenozerskiy BR January 2021 Anders Esselin, Man & Nature AB Johanna MacTaggart, the Swedish Man and Biosphere Programme SWEDISH FOREST AGENCY Foreword Barents Euro-Arctic Council (BEAC) is a forum for intergovernmental cooperation on issues concerning the Barents region. The objective of Barents cooperation is to strengthen peace, stability and sustainable development by improving opportunities for cooperation across the region’s borders. The chairmanship rotates every second year between Norway, Finland, Russia and Sweden. The aim of the Working Group on Barents Forest Sector (WGBFS) is to promote sustainable management and utilization of forest resources and ecosystem services in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests as well as the Paris Climate Agreement. The forest sector is an important part of the economic, social and environmental development in the Barents region and the forest plays a central role in the transition to a bio-based circular society. Priorities for the Norwegian chairmanship of the Working Group on Barents Forest Sector are to focus on the forest-based bioeconomy and the transition to a low-carbon society. Norway has given priority to knowledge creation by involving research organizations present in the region and strive to strengthen regional cooperation in the Barents region. Searching for new platforms for regional cooperation is a part of this effort. The pilot study was initiated in order to analyze the possibilities to use the Barents Cooperation as a potential platform to establish collaboration between Biosphere Reserve areas within the Barents region.

    Fennoscandia archaeolociga XVI (1999) M.G. Kosmenko and I.S. Manjuhin ANCIENT IRON PRODUCTION IN KARELIA Abstract In this paper some information about 61 sites with iron slag is given, and the remains of 26 furnaces from 14 sites in Karelia are described and classified. They belonged to the cultures of hunters and fishers of the Iron Age - Early Middle Ages and are dated to between 500 BC and 1300 AD. The furnaces for making raw iron are grouped into 4 types: 1. Ground ones, perhaps, with a construction of wood, dating back to the Iron Age in SE Karelia; 2. Original furnaces in the shape of rectangular stone boxes in W and NW Karelia of the Iron Age - Early Middle Ages; 3. 1\vo types of ground clay furnaces and pit furnaces built of stones, dated to the Iron Age - Early Middle Ages in South­ ern Karelia. Some issues are discussed; in particular, the disparity between relatively well developed raw iron pro­ duction in Karelia and the total lack of blacksmith's implements and smithies in the archaeological record.
