The Clean Arctic movement will join Russia's Rosprirodnadzor Bear Patrol program for protection of polar bears and the prevention of encounters between predators and humans, said Andrey Nagibin, the head of the environmental project.
"Our volunteers will develop training seminars for employees of enterprises. We are already preparing open lessons and interactive games for schoolchildren, webinars for tourists and those who work in the Arctic in shifts," he said.
According to him, the volunteers are organizing a large-scale awareness campaign for schoolchildren, students, shift workers, employees and tourists. It will cover five Arctic regions: Arkhangelsk Region, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Yakutia and Chukotka.
In early January, the head of Rosprirodnadzor Svetlana Radionova met with Russian president and announced that the agency plans to implement the Bear Patrol project. Its task is to prevent conflict situations between polar bears and humans.
