MOSCOW, Russian Federation - June 22, 2016 - PRLog -- For the environment of Kola peninsula the next year will be very important. In the context of the "Year of Ecology" a lot of ecological projects will be realized.

For this region the environmental management was a big issue during last several decades, because the main goal was the development of industry, and the protection of nature was on the second place.

During the last years the situation began to change. And it has been done due to the initiative of the government. It is well known that the Arctic nature is very vulnerable to the human impact, so its protection is very important.

The reclamation of waste can help to save the Arctic nature

The possibilities which the "Year of ecology" gives will be used in full.


First of all the support of the federal center is required for the development of the waste management. This goal is urgent for this region. The project of the waste management has already developed. Moreover, this is the first such project in Russian North. It includes the construction of municipal solid waste areas, the complex of the waste sorting - it will start to work in 2017.

"This project is not only the part the "Year of ecology", it is very important for the protection and recovery of the Arctic nature", said the governor of Murmansk region Marina Kovtun (МаринаКовтун).

Learning to love the nature

Ecological tourism can play the important role in the development of the region. The Murmansk region has a lot of advantages - there are about 2 million hectares of the 72 protected areas, which are not impacted by the civilization. So it is very important to create zones in national parks which will be interesting for tourists. The main goal is to create the infrastructure which will not disturb the nature.

There are several places which are well-known and which can be the basis of ecotourism infrastructure - the national park "Ribachiy peninsula" and the reserves "Kutsa" and "Seidyavvr".

The national park "Ribachiy peninsula" was established in 2014. It is the northernmost natural reserve of European part of the Russia.  There are a lot of unique historical places, settlements of different species of sea birds. And of course beautiful nature. About 8 thousand people visited this national park during last year.

The legend of Kola peninsula

The reserve "Seidyavvr" is one of the most beautiful and interesting places in Kola peninsula. It is well known not only because of unique landscapes, but cultural and historical heritage of Saami people. The most interesting place in "Seidyavvr" - the lake Seidozero, where a lot of mysterious artefacts have been found. For example - petroglyph of a man with the height about 50 meters. Saami believe that this petroglyph depicts  Kyiva - Swedish chief, who was robbing local people.

The first expedition to Seidozero was organized in 20-years of the last century. But now scientists continue to argue what does this picture mean - maybe this is creation of the nature, maybe a sanctuary of Saami or remains of the Giperborea - the mythical civilization.

For all these reasons the reserve "Seidyavvr" was selected as a first place where the infrastructure for the tourists will be developed.

The Eco trail to the sacramental places of Saami

Another area which are very interesting for tourists is "Lovoserie". For example the lake Seidosero attracts thousands people from the hole country each year.

"Our goal is to develop the infrastructure in this place", - said Marina Kovtun.

Very soon ecological trails will be constructed in that places which are most interesting and popular among tourists.

In a future the whole tourism cluster will be created in the Lovozero region.

We have to save the Arctic

"The environment impacts directly on a health and life expectancy. Especially this fact is important for the North. The nature of the North is very vulnerable to a human impact and it is very difficult and it is take a lot of time to recover the natural ecosystems", said Marina Kovtun.

The "Year of ecology" is a good reason to look at all these problems more closely. The problem of the interaction between human and nature is very important, especially now.
