Russia, being a major Arctic power, pays special attention to the region’s environmental rehabilitation, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev said presenting the Arctic Dossier, Russia’s national report to mark the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.“We have established federal specially protected natural areas in the Arctic Zone for protecting its ecosystem, where it was really necessary. In total, they make up about 40 million hectares, which is the largest contribution among the Arctic states,” the Russian Government press service quotes him as saying.He added that the Russian Arctic is inhabited by about 20,000 kinds of living organisms, including rare flora and fauna species. A set of environmental technologies are applied to conserve them. In addition, the Arctic zone is undergoing a systematic clean-up of accumulated environmental damage: clearing land occupied by landfills and rehabilitating disturbed lands.The Deputy Prime Minister reminded that a fund for the support of ecological and environmental projects had been established at the President’s instruction.

Undoubtedly, any cities development, any business development has to be balanced with the environmental wellbeing, and I can reaffirm that we can be proud with the Russian Federation’s attitude to the fragile ecosystem of the Russian Arctic,” underscored the minister during his presentation. Russia joined the program of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030 last November, when the country established the UN Decade National Committee.
