La Russie étudie les formules politiques les plus appropriées pour sauvegarder ses forêts du pillage (source: WWF Russia, hier ; le suivi satellitaire est évoqué dans un autre article du même jour).

WWF-Russia believes that state regulation of foreign economic activity, along with efforts to develop environmentally sensitive markets may create a strong barrier against the sale of bio-resources

25-26 May 2011 in Moscow State University (Moscow) was held on 9 th International Conference "Governance in the XXI Century: Traditions and Innovations. Into sections, organized with the active participation of the FCS of Russia and the Russian Customs Academy, WWF Russia, presented reports on the prevention of international trade in species introduced to the application of CITES and the illegal timber, received in the cockpit with violations of Russian law. "Effective measures to combat smuggling can stop the trade of rare and endangered plants and animals, and thus stop their predation. Specialists WWF and TRAFFIC Russia hold regular training of customs officers how to detect contraband, as well as the definition of species of plants, animals and their parts, are objects of poaching. Already have the first effective results of such training to combat smuggling of rare species of the Far East, including the Amur tiger, "he said in his report Alexey Vaisman, coordinator of TRAFFIC in Russia.

One of the most acute problems of the Russian forest sector are of illegal logging. Experts estimate that up to half of the total volume of timber harvested in some regions of the country, has the dubious and illegal origin. Especially this problem is acute in the areas bordering with China - the main importer of Russian wood. To solve the problem of illegal logging requires an effective interagency cooperation. "As long as the authorities of customs control will not take the fight against illegal trafficking of timber, including, and his problem, and do not receive the appropriate authority, pending the availability of mechanisms to document the legal origin of timber and wood products "Black loggers will not be effective, and the state will remain the only hide the true amount of theft of wood in forests that are the whole people," he said in his report to Nicholas Shmatkov, project coordinator for the WWF Forest Policy of Russia . Lack of recognition of the severity of the problem and effective measures to combat illegal logging at the state level disadvantage, primarily responsible Exporters, especially in light of new legislation, the U.S. and the EU to prevent the export to these countries of illegal timber.

For the record: the amount of legally harvested timber in Russia is estimated Rosleshoz 1,5 million cubic meters. , while according to expert estimates, at least 20 million cubic meters of timber harvested illegally in Russia.

SO FAR FROM CUP TO LIPS

LES NOTABLES SURVIVANTS DE L'ACCIDENT D'HELICOPTERE INTERVENU EN JANVIER 2009, A L'ISSUE D' UNE CHASSE A L'ARGALI, ESPECE PROTEGEE PAR LA LOI RUSSE ET SACREE AUX YEUX DES HABITANTS DE L'ALTAÏ, QUI AVAIT PROVOQUE DES MANIFESTATIONS POPULAIRES ET D'IMPORTANTS REMOUS POLITIQUES, ONT ETE ACQUITTES.

The court's decision demonstrates the weakness of the Russian judicial system .

"When it comes to matters that involve major economic interests or political weight, the whole judicial system is not working - says the director of WWF Igor Chestin. - I have great doubts that the officials will appeal to the national court to review the decision, although of course we will demand it. "

"The result of regular and look forward to, but despite this, we can not agree with the decision of the court" - says program coordinator WWF / TRAFFIC Alexey Vaisman. - Legal proceedings in this case can hardly be called independent, since the case was heard in the Kosh-Agach region of the Republic of Altai - the subject of the federation, where one of the defendants has long been a leader and to this day remains one of the richest and most influential people in the region. It is clear that the defendant, and the court was most convenient to illegal hunting "Blame" for the victims, with their demand is not. But the prosecution simply did not have arguments, which again is not surprising, because in the course of the investigation, apparently, has not been clearly established who was shot and whose bullet killed the goats. Anyway, we never managed to find evidence that the examination had been carried out of bullets, shells and weapons, it would give the possibility to determine the weapon from which were killed "Red" animals, and, consequently, its owner. "

Mi-171 helicopters (Mi-8) with senior officials crashed in January 2009 in the Black Mountain area in the Altai . In the crash killed seven people, including the president's envoy to the Russian State Duma Alexander Kosopkin. Four survived, three of them brought to justice - is Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic Anatoliy Bannykh, who resigned after the accident, "Ineke" Boris Belinsky and Deputy Director of Institute of economy and legislation of Moscow Nikolai Kapranov. They were charged under Part 2 of Article 258 of the Criminal Code (illegal hunting), the sanction which provides up to two years imprisonment.

The case received wide publicity, primarily because of the fact that after the helicopter crash appeared on the Internet images of debris, among which are visible Altai mountain sheep (also known as argali, or argali), listed in the Red Book of the International Red Book. Any hunting them is forbidden. These animals are also sacred to indigenous Altai people.

Cette nuit, Evgeny SOUVOROV, membre de la Société russe de Géographie, a publié un article d'illustration de mon projet "DRAGON VERT".

(Pour les non russophones, penser au traducteur automatique)

J'adresse ici mes remerciements chaleureux à l'auteur, ainsi qu'à Evgeny Kashkarov, qui avait transmis l'information à celui - ci, et ce au moment où des plans de réintroduction des tigres en Asie centrale prennent corps (voir mon blog du 14 Avril).

Le mois dernier, devant la Société de Géographie, Vladimir Poutine avait exprimé le souhait que la Nature Sauvage constitue désormais un aspect fondamental de l'identité nationale russe (voir mon blog du 16 Avril).

Au même titre que la politique démographique et d'immigration, et de façon complémentaire à celle - ci, EAU, BOIS et HERBE constituent également un dispositif capital dans la sécurité du territoire.

Par ailleurs, j'ai repris hier les propos de Cho Hyun Kwon concernant la place réelle du tigre dans la culture coréenne.

Il conviendra d'illustrer, de même, les fils de continuité de la culture européenne du tigre (explicite ou cryptée), des Scythes de l'Antiquité à nos jours, dont le retour actuel en surface est de bon augure pour les décennies et siècles à venir.

Une bonne illustration des représentations des premiers sur

OFFRANDE SYMBOLIQUE

DEUX JEUNES TIGRES RUSSES POUR LA COREE DU SUD

(Source : Moscow Times, aujourd'hui).

Aussi bien le mythe fondateur de la Corée et la nouvelle "Le Grand van, Histoire d'un tigre de Mandchourie" de Nicolas Baïkov, que les récits de voyageurs au 19ème siècle, donnent un grand crédit aux propos de l'artiste coréen Cho Hyun Kwon selon lequel la péninsule est le seul pays au monde où le tigre constitue le point nodal de la culture nationale.

Two Siberian tiger cubs – a male and a female – will be delivered from Moscow to Seoul as Russia’s gifts to South Korea.

The two tigers will fly by a Korean Air flight after being in quarantine in Moscow.

They were born in July last year and weigh about 50 kilograms each.

Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin promised to present South Korea’s President Lee Myung-bak with tiger cubs on the 20th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and South Korea which the two countries marked recently.
