With the support of RN-Uvatneftegaz (part of the oil production complex of NK Rosneft), scientists from the Tobolsk Scientific Station of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences conducted large-scale monitoring of the territories of the Kunyak Nature Reserve during the implementation of a project to study forest reindeer.
Ecologists were able to obtain over 100 thousand images as a result of aerial monitoring, which covered an area of almost 60 thousand hectares. The array of unique data will form the basis for assessing the population size of the forest reindeer, which is listed in the Red Book of the Tyumen Region. At the next stage of the project, scientists plan to develop a set of measures to protect the habitat and increase the population size of the rare species.
The RN-Uvatneftegaz program for the study and conservation of forest reindeer is of great practical importance for the Tyumen region – research has not been conducted in the region for more than 20 years, and there is currently no current information on the state of the population. Earlier, during the scientific project, scientists were able to confirm the fact of the deer’s permanent habitation on the territory of the reserve.
Over the past five years, with grant support from RN-Uvatneftegaz, scientists have implemented several research projects of practical importance for preserving the biodiversity of the Tyumen region, including programs to assess the status of populations of rare and protected species of birds and animals.
Responsible attitude to the environment is an integral part of the corporate culture and one of the key principles of the activities of Rosneft and its subsidiaries. RN-Uvatneftegaz is implementing a comprehensive program for the study and conservation of natural resources in the Uvatsky District, including the use of advanced technological solutions.
