Bashneft, a Rosneft company, planted 748 thousand trees on an area of over 200 hectares in 2024. This is 45% more than the same indicator last year. The plantings took place in the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
Preserving the environment for future generations is an integral part of Rosneft’s corporate culture. The company implements large-scale environmental programs aimed at minimizing the impact on the environment, improving the environmental friendliness of production, preserving and replenishing natural ecosystems.
Bashneft employees carried out landscaping of the territories in two stages: in the spring they planted 158 thousand trees on an area of 37 hectares, in the fall – 590 thousand seedlings on an area of 164 hectares.
One of the key environmental actions this year was the planting of 24 thousand seedlings by employees of Bashneft-Dobycha (a subsidiary of Bashneft) in the Asly-Kul nature park in the Davlekanovsky district of Bashkiria. This is a continuation of a large-scale program aimed at preventing the swamping of Aslikul, the largest lake in Bashkortostan. Last fall, Bashkir oil workers began restoring the forest around the northwestern part of the reservoir. In total, the company’s employees planted 68 thousand pine seedlings and 10 thousand larch seedlings in this nature park, resulting in three forest areas with a total area of 19.5 hectares.
Experts from the Biology Research Center of the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences believe that the creation of a coniferous forest in the northwestern part of Lake Aslikul will help stop the process of swamping of the banks and preserve the reservoir for future generations.
In just the last 5 years, thanks to the initiatives of Bashkir oil workers, more than 5.2 million trees have been planted on an area of over 1.5 thousand hectares. Young green areas will soon form full-fledged coniferous forests, which will contribute to the restoration and preservation of the ecological balance.
