As a consequence of relying on non-renewable energy sources and reckless encroachment on natural habitats a lot of plant and animal species have become extinct and more and more species are getting endangered. Thus celebrating biodiversity and solidarity for all life forms, from the tiniest one to the most complex eco-systems, has been in the centre of our attention and operational activities. Keywords: durable development, ecology, endangered species. 1. Introduction Within the massive destruction of forests and forest climate, we witness significant changes, Just as the man has passed from the stage of sometimes radical of the environment. For the animal hunter and collector up to animal raiser and farmer, and plants which have survived through a long period the natural vegetation has increasingly been subject of adaptation, a new difficult era starts again.

Sedimentation-induced vegetation spread is a typical process in the succession of lakes endangering these habitats. We aimed to survey the tendencies of vegetation spread of a Hungarian lake using satellite images, and to develop a method to identify the areas of risk. Accordingly, we performed a 33-year long vegetation spread monitoring survey. We used the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) to assess vegetation and open water characteristics of the basins.

  • The City's Memory: Texts of Preservation and Loss in Imperial St. Petersburg Julie Buckler, Harvard University Petersburg's Im
    The City’s Memory: Texts of Preservation and Loss in Imperial St. Petersburg Julie Buckler, Harvard University Petersburg's imperial-era chroniclers have displayed a persistent, paradoxical obsession with this very young city's history and memory. Count Francesco Algarotti was among the first to exhibit this curious conflation of old and new, although he seems to have been influenced by sentiments generally in the air during the early eighteenth century. Algarotti attributed the dilapidated state of the grand palaces along the banks of the Neva to the haste with which these residences had been constructed by members of the court whom Peter the Great had obliged to move from Moscow to the new capital: [I]t is easy to see that [the palaces] were built out of obedience rather than choice. Their walls are all cracked, quite out of perpendicular, and ready to fall. It has been wittily enough said, that ruins make themselves in other places, but that they were built at Petersburg. Accordingly, it is necessary every moment, in this new capital, to repair the foundations of the buildings, and its inhabitants built incessantly; as well for this reason, as on account of the instability of the ground and of the bad quality of the materials.1 In a similar vein, William Kinglake, who visited Petersburg in the mid-1840s, scornfully advised travelers to admire the city by moonlight, so as to avoid seeing, “with too critical an eye, plaster scaling from the white-washed walls, and frost-cracks rending the painted 1Francesco Algarotti, “Letters from Count Algarotti to Lord Hervey and the Marquis Scipio Maffei,” Letter IV, June 30, 1739.

Gorky, 32, 236041 Kaliningrad, Russia 2Belgorod State National Research University, st. Pobedy, 85, 308015 Belgorod, Russia Abstract. Information obtained from any source is forgotten after three days. The exception is the one that is of particular importance and is broadcast through stories. The ongoing transformation of the needs of tourists is reflected in the diversification of the tourist offer. In this regard, storytelling has received particular relevance and development. Storytelling technologies are the process of communicating information as a result of the use of stories and legends. The article analyzes the state and development prospects of the region as an attractive tourist destination, suggests a model for promoting a regional tourist destination based on storytelling. The development and comprehensive implementation of projects, taking into account the interests of all participants, will provide an opportunity to promote and develop the territory as an attractive tourist destination, which is of paramount importance in modern socio-economic conditions. 1 Introduction The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and the travel restrictions are changing the development potential of the tourism industry, both in Russia and around the world. The results of 2020 testify to the deplorable state of the tourism sector and, as a result, its finding in extreme conditions. According to the Border Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, Russian citizens made 71% fewer trips compared to 2019, namely 14 million trips to foreign countries, and more than half of the trips fell on the "pre-quarantine" first quarter of 2020 - almost 54%.

This research is an attempt to make the analysis of possible solutions to the problem of the land where the Okhta Center was to be constructed. The authors studied the case from the historical, practical and cultural sides. In order to find out the current public opinion on this matter two surveys were held both among St Petersburg residents and foreign guests of the city. The main aims of this article were to find the solutions, that would lead to improvement in the cultural and social level of St Petersburg citizens’ life. The possible outcomes of this research are increasing incomes of the city budget, raising the status of the city and the development of Krasnogvardeisky region of St. Petersburg. 1 Introduction The Nowadays the society needs to balance historic, cultural and modern urban aspects of the life of the city. Sometimes it means that every aspect could destroy another just because of the opportunity of the future profit from it. Of course, the profit is not only money matter, but also involves the reputation of the city and region in general, that also could reflect the economic stability of the region and nearby areas.

    Report on the activities of Russian organization in relation to the BALTEX Phase II Implementation 1. Better understanding of the energy and water cycles over the Baltic Sea basin Long-term studies of lakes and rivers ice regime formation in the Russian part of the Baltic Sea basin are being carried out at the State Hydrological Institute. The changes of ice cover duration and maximal ice cover thickness for the last 50 years has been estimated on the basis of statistical methods. The ice cover duration in mid-size rivers within the Russian part of Baltic drainage basin became shorter because of later ice-on and earlier ice-off: - for the period of observation (from 1945 to 2005) became shorter by 30-40 days on the average - during the last 20-25 years became shorter by 3-7 days on the average Volkhov-Volkhov, 1946-2005 R2 = 0,3588 200 150 100 50 0 Ice cover duration, days 1946 1951 1956 1961 1966 1971 1976 1981 1986 1991 1996 2001 Years In all rivers under consideration within the Russian part of Baltic drainage basin a tendency towards decrease of the maximum ice cover thickness was established for the second part of the XXth century.

Abstract: According to the current data, the family Iridaceae is represented in Bulgaria by 30 species, grouped into 5 genera. The territory of Bulgaria, as part of the Balkan Peninsula, is characterized as a part of a secondary speciation center for the largest genera in the Iris and Crocus. In addition to widespread species, there are local and regional endemics that are of great conservation importance. Despite this fact, it is little known about the taxonomy and phylogeny of Iridaceae in Bulgaria. The main purpose of this publication is to present the degree of study of the family in Bulgarian literature, compared to the investigations in the Balkan Peninsula and the literature in the world. Inventory of the collections in the national herbaria SO, SOA and SOM have done.
