The article “Challenges and science-based implications for modern management and conservation of European ungulate populations” deals with topical issues in the study, management and conservation of ungulates. Springer commended the articles as “world-changing”.
The paper was prepared by an international team of authors (35 researchers) as follow-up of the International Conference “Ungulates in a changing world – consequences for population dynamics, migration and management” that took place in Belarus. Russia was represented at this large forum by scientists from Moscow, Kirov and Petrozavodsk. Karelian researchers made presentations about the distribution and management of commercial species populations, conservation of rare ungulates, and aspects of semi-free ranging of animals of this group in our region.
The conference discusses issues related to ungulate ecology and management of their populations: changes in distribution and abundance, including climate change effects, migration, genetic studies, conservation of rare species, ungulates as mediators of diseases, demand for closer international cooperation and population monitoring at the intergovernmental level, and other pressing problems.

Scientists performing integrated monitoring of Ladoga Skerries NP ecosystems
A multidisciplinary expedition to the Ladoga Skerries National Park was performed by specialists from several subdivisions of KarRC RAS. The focus was on the park’s plants and animals. Scientists map the forest cover and its dynamics, identify rare species, and evaluate human impact on the natural ecosystems. The results can be used when planning economic and recreational activities in the protected area.
