KOLARCTIC CBC 2014-2020 is the financing programme for supporting cooperation between North Calotte (Finland, Sweden, Norway) and North-West Russia.
The project’s overall objective is biodiversity conservation and protection of endangered species (populations of the freshwater pearl mussel and juvenile salmonids) in rivers of the Green Belt of Fennoscandia. While conserving and improving the status of aquatic ecosystems, the project will at the same time improve the socio-economic wellbeing of people by means of ecotourism development and contributing to fulfillment of Russia’s international obligations on the protection of rare animal species.
Partners in the project are Kostomukshsky Strict Nature Reserve and Kalevalsky National Park, Institute of North Industrial Ecology Problems of the Kola Science Centre RAS, Metsähallitus, Natural Resources Institute Finland (LUKE), University of Jyväskylä, Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO), Alleco Oy, County Administrative Board of Norbotten.
KarRC RAS staff act as researchers in project activities on behalf of Kostomukshsky Nature Reserve (Project Partner).
At the kick-off seminar, representatives of each partner presented their activities in the project and discussed plans for the short term.
