On 3-9 April 2012 the Russian Far East hosted the Ecotourism Development Seminar – “Ecotourism development in nature reserves, national parks and specially protected nature territories (SPNT) of the Russian Far East”, with its chief consultants - I.V. Kalmykov, Director of the Altaiskiy Reserve, and S.N. Shchigreva, Deputy Director for Environmental Education, conducting the seminar. The organizers behind the seminar were WWF Russia’s Amur Branch and the Far East Marine Biosphere Reserve of the Far East Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The seminar was organized and held within the framework of cooperation between the Coordination Council for Reserves in the southern part of the Russian Far East and WWF Russia’s Amur Branch, under the auspices of the Environmental Education Center of the Far East Marine Nature Reserve (Popov Island). The seminar brought together directors and heads of Environmental Education Departments of 16 Far East specially protected nature territories, and invited guests from the administration of the National Park “Smolenskoye Poozerye” (Smolensk oblast) and the Altaiskiy Biosphere Reserve (Altai Republic) that acted as ecotourism consulting experts in specially protected nature territories.

The Altaiskiy Reserve made two reports: “Tourism as a driving force behind the development of the Altaiskiy State Nature Biosphere Reserve” (I.V. Kalmykov), and “The role of the Environmental Education Department in the Altaiskiy Reserve” (S.N. Shchigreva).

“We are grateful to the organizers of the seminar for giving us this unique opportunity not only to benefit from sharing our knowledge in ecotourism development sphere with others, but also to learn from the experience of our colleagues from specially protected nature territories in the Russian Far East and WWF Russia’s Amur Branch, discuss urgent ecotourism development issues and exchange guidance materials”, says Svetlana Shchigreva.

Seminar guests continued to share their ecotourism experience and knowledge in the course of the study tour through reserves and national parks - namely the National Park “Land of the Snow Leopard”, Khankaiskiy and Ussuriyskiy Reserves
