The international environmental project SUPER, in which Karelian scientists assessed the ability of the environment to withstand high recreational pressure in natural and cultural heritage sites, has come to an end. The project has also built waste management infrastructure in the pilot areas and organized lots of educational events.

A new international project entitled “Wolf: Barents predators – managing large carnivores in the Barents region” started at KarRC RAS. In the project, scientists from Karelia and Sweden will share expertise and research results regarding wolf populations.

A working meeting between representatives of the Karelian Research Centre RAS and the Ruskeala Mining Park development team took place in the mining park. Experts discussed research plans for the park, collaboration in the “European Underground Laboratories Network”, plantation of an experimental curly birch alley, and setting up of an integrated underground monitoring system.
