New Protected Area in Russia

Some good news from the Wild Salmon Center and the Russian far east...

After a decade-long effort by the Wild Salmon Center and their partners, a new National Park on the Shantar Islands in the Russian Far East has been created. The park encompasses the entire Shantar Island archipelago -- a pristine island ecosystem encompassing over 1.2 million acres that supports a diverse range of terrestrial and marine species including pink and chum salmon populations.
