Home / News WWF Russia and GC "Titan" agreed on the border of the Dvinsko-Pinezhsky nature reserve within the holding's lease October 5, 2017 “When preparing our proposals on the boundaries of the projected reserve in the lease zone of the GC“ Titan ”, we proceeded and proceed from the principle of inadmissibility of the deterioration of the socio-economic situation of the population living in the territories adjacent to the projected reserve, both as a result of unjustified bans on the use of these territories, and due to the deterioration of the economic situation at the logging enterprises of the GC "Titan". Reaching an uneasy agreement with WWF Russia on the boundaries of the projected protected areas confirms our commitment to the principles of sustainable, environmentally and socially responsible business conduct, "said General Director of GC Titan Alexey Kudryavtsev. A part of the territory of the Dvinsko-Pinezhsky forest area leased by the Titan Group of Companies along the entire southern border of the lease will be included in the reserve. This agreement was reached by WWF Russia and the holding during a working meeting. GC "Titan" has officially announced its support for the creation of the Dvinsko-Pinezhsky (Verkhneyulovsky) nature reserve within the boundaries agreed with WWF Russia, adjacent to the territory of the leased forest areas. For more than 15 years, the enterprises of the holding have been certified according to the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) scheme, the requirements of which provide for the preservation of intact forest areas. The agreements between ecologists and timber merchants on the refusal from felling of valuable forests, concluded within the framework of certification, formed the basis for the creation of the reserve. Reduction of the area of the reserve within the boundaries of the lease, provided for by the latest agreements, gives GC "Titan" time to switch to efficient forestry in secondary forests. For this, the company will develop a long-term strategy for sustainable forest management. GC "Titan" expressed its intention to take an active part in the dialogue with other companies operating in the interfluve and regional authorities to agree on the boundaries of the reserve by the end of 2017 - the Year of Ecology and the Year of Protected Areas. Work on the creation of a regional landscape reserve on the territory between the Northern Dvina and Pinega rivers, where one of the last large areas of untouched wild taiga has survived in Europe, has been going on since the early 2000s. In 2013, the project of the reserve, prepared by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in cooperation with the Center for Nature Management and Environmental Protection of the Arkhangelsk Region, passed the state ecological expertise. The creation of the reserve is reflected in the Forest Plan and the territorial planning scheme of the region. However, the issue of the boundaries of the new specially protected area has not yet been resolved, since most of the territory planned for the reserve is leased from loggers. When creating a new protected area, it is important to find a balance between the economy and the environment in order to preserve the most valuable part of the massif and enable enterprises to continue working. “When preparing our proposals on the boundaries of the projected reserve in the lease zone of the GC“ Titan ”, we proceeded and proceed from the principle of inadmissibility of the deterioration of the socio-economic situation of the population living in the territories adjacent to the projected reserve, as a result of unjustified bans on the use of these territories, and due to the deterioration of the economic situation at the logging enterprises of the GC "Titan". Reaching an uneasy agreement with WWF Russia on the boundaries of the projected protected areas confirms our commitment to the principles of sustainable, environmentally and socially responsible business conduct, ”said Alexey Kudryavtsev, CEO of GC Titan. WWF emphasizes that in conditions of critical depletion of forest resources, the region needs to switch to intensive forestry as soon as possible. The measures proposed by WWF for effective reforestation in developed areas and care for young plantations will help preserve the unique forest and natural habitat of wild animals, while significantly increasing the volume of timber production in easily accessible areas and creating additional jobs for the population. “WWF-Russia invites all companies that lease forest plots in the interfluve to a dialogue in order to solve the problem of preserving a unique array of intact forests and agreeing on the boundaries of a nature reserve with an area of about 350 thousand hectares. We also hope for the support of the government of the Arkhangelsk region, which officially announced that the reserve will be created by the end of 2017. In particular, we expect that the regional authorities will establish a moratorium and will not lease areas within the boundaries of the planned protected areas, ”noted WWF-Russia Environmental Policy Director Yevgeny Shvarts.
