In 2006 WWF-Russia has started the model project on monitoring and conservation of polar bear in the coastal villages of Chukotsky Autonomous Okrug. The project has been implemented by local indigenous citizens.
We are going to inform our readers about our activities, giving information about new protected areas, antipoaching activity and educational programs on a regular basis. The project is called «Bear Patrol» or «Umky Patrol» (Umky means a polar bear in Chukotka).
