ECOLOGICAL ORGANIZATOINS OF

RUSSIA

Today our environment and wildlife are in danger. Every day the situation becomes worse and

worse.

Our project is devoted to organizations that

deal with protection of our planet. Before

speaking about environmental problems

we would like to show the results of our

survey. We asked our schoolmates 4

questions about ecological problems.

1) What world would you use to describe ecological situation in Russia

2) Do you know any organizations that focus on environment protection in Russia

- Greenpeace

- Green street of Smolensk

- City student council

- Volunteer organizations

3) What causes the worst influence on ecological situation

4) How do you take part in protection of the environment

In our country there are some organizations that protect our environment. A Greenpeace office in our country was

established in 1989 and since 1992 we call ourselves/were given a name of Greenpeace Russia. In 2001 our branch was opened in Saint Petersburg.

Greenpeace Russia has 5 thousand supporters who share their values and donate to their work. The activists use their skills and experience to participate in the campaigns.

Together we can save our planet for future generations!

They work in the following fields: forests’ protection; protection of world heritage; protection from the threat of new

Chernobyl type accidents and prevent Russia from becoming an international radioactive dump;

protection of Lake Baikal; Protection of people from GE food

products

The Biodiversity Conservation Center (BCC) is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization working for restoration and protection of pristine nature allover Northern Eurasia.

The BCC's main objectives are:

designing different conservation programs and projects;

providing protection of national parks and other protected natural areas;

promoting partnership between Russian and overseas environmental organizations, coordinating their efforts in wildlife protection;

developing new conservation projects;

improving management of protected natural areas and developing conditions for lives of their residents

Another organization is World Wild Fund (WWF) – one of the biggest independent ecological organizations. Their main aims are: protection of forest areas; preserve species of animals and fish of the

Russian seas; Protection of such animals as Polar bear

Amur tiger, Far eastern leopard, Grey Whales;

helping ecosystems adapt to new climate patterns.

Also there are some other organizations in our country, but if you take any of them you’ll see, that they have very much in common. Their aim is to protect our planet for future

generations.
