For two days, KarRC RAS will serve as a platform for discussing possibilities for joint regional-level projects in the field of science and tourism. The topics for the conference are global and regional climate change, sustainable nature management, environmental security, contributions of countries to promoting green tourism.
The conference started with a plenary sessions: the audience was welcomed by KarRC RAS Director General Olga Bakhmet, Ambassador-at-Large at the Russian Foreign Ministry Pavel Knyazev, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security Vladimir Chizhov, and Head of the Republic of Karelia Artur Parfenchikov.
The conference is broadcasted online on KarRC RAS YouTube channel. Posters are available here.
The conference program includes two thematic sessions: "Climate Change, Sustainable Use of Natural Resources and Environmental Safety in BRICS Countries: Region-specific Features" and "Environmental Education and Tourism in BRICS Countries". On the Russian side, researchers from almost all federal districts of the country will deliver their presentations.
For the Karelian Research Center RAS, cooperation with BRICS is a promising and productive avenue. Scientists at KarRC RAS are already actively collaborating with colleagues from Brazil, China, and India, and there are also some joint activities with scientists from South Africa. The multidisciplinary approach of Karelian scientists can provide a basis for utilizing the scientific potential of KarRC RAS in the interests of the Republic, Russia, and other BRICS countries.

A successful introduction: the zander has settled down in Lake Sundozero and continues to spread
Scientists of the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS have published the results of long-term observations over the population of the zander (or pikeperch) introduced to Lake Sundozero more than a half-century ago. They confirm the species has become naturalized. Maintaining the population requires regulation of harvesting, protection during spawning, and tending of spawning grounds.

Ice-related phenomena on rivers emptying into the White Sea now last three weeks less than 60 years before
Ice on northern rivers now forms later while ice-off occurs earlier. Karelian scientists confirmed this having analyzed 64 years of marine and meteorological data from the estuaries of rivers draining into the White Sea along its western coast. Climate change has bit three weeks off the ice-covered period on these rivers. The reductions have been the most significant in the last 30 years, aligning with global warming trends in Arctic water bodies.
