The Roscongress Foundation, together with its subsidiary
RC-Investments Fund, are to attract around USD 200 million of direct investment
to the economy of Kamchatka Territory by creating the first Russian world-class
falcon centre. A detailed plan for this project will be presented in two weeks.
Acting Governor of the Kamchatka Territory Vladimir Solodov has
already tasked the region’s government with finalizing the plan of the falcon centre
project in Milkovsky district within two weeks. It is going to become a new growth
area on Kamchatka’s map. As soon as in July, Vladimir Solodov intends to launch
the process of project’s approval in the Government of the Russian Federation.
Also, the falcon centre is to become part of Kamchatka ASEZ.
“This is going to be the first Russian project for breeding
of hunting birds which is being developed together with Arab countries and
Kyrgyzstan that already has similar experience. Now we are focusing on the actual
implementation of the project. This is a new thing for Russia that we are to build
from scratch. Undoubtedly, such a scientific centre for studying hunting birds
will pave the way for international cooperation, as well as help restore our gyrfalcon
population that has decreased over the last few years due to illegal hunting,”
said Vladimir Solodov.
The region’s head added that the centre would boost the development
of Milkovsky district in general. Initially, 300 pairs of birds are to be brought
to the centre. Currently the decision on the land plot for the centre is being
taken.
The projects for restoration of the population of birds of
the falcon family and plans for restoration of rare bird species in Russia were
presented by Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian
Federation Dmitry Kobylkin at the 5th Eastern Economic Forum in
Vladivostok and were supported by Russian President. Creation of the falcon centre
in Kamchatka meets the goals and objectives of the Ecology national project for
biodiversity conservation.
“The construction of the falcon centre in Kamchtka will not only help restore the gyrfalcon population in its traditional spots, but also take a heavy toll on the black market of falcons. We have good prospects for the dialog in this area, including international cooperation. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is willing to carefully study the project and coordinate its implementation,” commented Dmitry Kobylkin.
