ENG / RUS Natural Heritage Protection Fund

Financial support of the World Natural Heritage sites

The Fund, with the support of the German World Heritage Foundation, has provided funding for equipping the Zabaikalsky and Kronotsky State Nature Reserves with electronic communications means (2003-2004), granted funds to the Ugyd Va National Park for building in its territory ecological tourism infrastructure (2005), and has provided funding to purchase vehicles for Yuzhno-Kamchatsky Nature Park (2006).

Throughout 2007 a project "Specific Nature Conservation Measures in the Volga delta" was realized with the support of European Nature Heritage Fund (Euronature). In the framework of the project the Biosphere Reserve Astrakhansky and the Stepnoy Game Reserve (Zakaznik) were supported with technical equipment and implements.

A large-scale project on equipping the Russian World Natural Heritage sites' territories with informational panels and advertisement hoarding is in the stage of development.
