The participants of the continental expedition Russia 360, aimed at traveling along the land borders of the Russian Federation, were the first to sign the Arctic Volunteer Charter, a document developed by the Clean Arctic public environmental project offering assistance in restoring ecosystems, participating in cleaning up nature from waste and in eco-education.
According to Andrey Nagibin, the head of the Clean Arctic project, in 2023, 3,000 people participated in its initiatives, and cleared 7,000 tons of waste from a total of 256 hectares of territory.
On the way through the Arctic regions, the expedition participants will map the new debris sites they discovered, which accumulated after 80 years of Arctic exploration.
The Russia 360 expedition started on January 25, 2024. In December 2024 the team will return to Murmansk, having traveled on wheeled vehicles along all the land borders of Russia for more than 33,000 km through 58 regions.
