When was the Red Book of Russia created?

In 2001. It contains rare species of animals, plants and birds. Each region of the country has its own Red Book. For example, 52 species of rare birds are protected in the Vladimir region. This is supported by the project "Let's save the Red Book Birds of Russia together!" of the Notivory Environmental Foundation. The project is being implemented with the support of the Presidential Grants Fund. The first step in the foundation's work was a research expedition with the participation of an ornithologist and a specialist in the field of nature conservation.

Following the results of the expedition, the Notivory Foundation team installed artificial nests. They will be able to accommodate and breed rare waterfowl. As adults, the chicks, obeying their instinct, return to their homeland to bring out their offspring. The Foundation has installed warning signs and information notices for residents of the village of Matveishchevo, Yuriev-Polsky district.
