Goal: decrease the damage the environment in Russia suffers from fires.
What we do:
- Make sure that governmental agencies make realistic and honest assessment of the scale of fires in natural areas in Russia.
- Fight fires that threaten higher conservation value natural areas if the state fails to do it itself.
- Help in developing a forest and peat-bog fire fighting system able to cope with the real scale of fires.
- Train volunteers; develop and put into practice mechanisms that enable individuals and non-governmental organizations to take part in fire fighting activities.
- Make the authorities take measures to stop grass fires and destroy the myth about the necessity and safety of such fires.
