The main goal of the project is to revive the population of the red-listed saker falcon in the republic. The implementation of the project will increase the population of rare falcon species, accumulate experience for subsequent similar projects, and lay the groundwork for the revival of the Volga-Kama population of the saker falcon, which was last recorded nesting in the republic in 1974.
The saker falcon is a rare species of bird listed in the Red Data Lists of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Russian Federation, and the Republic of Tatarstan. The Russian government is taking measures to restore the saker falcon population.
In 2023, with grant support from SIBUR's social investment program Formula for Good Deeds, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan implemented an initiative to reintroduce the saker falcon population. In 2024, SIBUR continued to provide financial support for the project. On the sidelines of the Tatarstan Oil and Gas Chemical Forum in Kazan, SIBUR, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan, the A.I. Schepovskikh Regional Public Fund for Environmental Protection, and the audit and consulting company Kapt signed a cooperation agreement. The document confirmed the parties' intentions to work together on tasks related to the implementation of the project to restore the population of the saker falcon in the Republic of Tatarstan.
The project received widespread positive feedback. It was among the winners of the 5th All-Russian Competition for Best Environmental Practices, «Reliable Partner — Ecology,» in the category «Best Project in the Field of Biodiversity Conservation.» The project was also among the top three projects in the national award in the field of geography, ecology, conservation, and promotion of natural and historical-cultural heritage, «Crystal Compass.»
Over two years, 16 saker falcon chicks were brought to the Kamsko-Ustyinsky District of the Republic.
A new feature of the 2024 project is that specialists from the Kazan Zoo have been involved in the release and monitoring of the birds. Four adult birds have been placed in its enclosures to form pairs and breed chicks in Tatarstan. Next year, it is planned to release balobans that have already grown up in the Republic.
The implementation of the project will help revive the traditions of falconry. In March 2022, the expert council under the Ministry of Culture of Tatarstan included falconry in the republic's Catalogue of Intangible Cultural Heritage Objects. And in December 2022, the Ministry of Culture of Russia added the traditions of Russian falconry to the federal catalog of intangible ethnocultural heritage of the peoples of the country.
SIBUR supports the Kerzhensky Nature Reserve in implementing a project to restore the northern forest reindeer population in the Nizhny Novgorod Region. A co-financing agreement has been signed between the nature reserve and SIBUR's Kstovo plant.
All European subspecies of reindeer are listed in the Red List of the Russian Federation, and in the Nizhny Novgorod Red List, the forest subspecies is included in Category I of rarity, meaning it is threatened with extinction. The population of the free-roaming group in the region does not exceed 15 individuals. The reserve has set itself the task of making this species of deer a common forest animal in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
Replenishing aquatic biological resources is one of SIBUR's tasks as part of its comprehensive approach to environmental conservation. Since implementing its sustainable development strategy, taking into account recommendations and under the supervision of relevant authorities, the company has released more than 4.5 million fry of valuable or rare fish species into Russian rivers. Almost a quarter of this volume was released as part of voluntary initiatives.
SIBUR's work is aimed at preserving the biodiversity of rivers such as the Kama, Zeya, Irtysh, Ob, and Volga. Among the species that SIBUR strives to preserve are those listed in the Red List and rare species, such as the Siberian sturgeon, the Volga sterlet, and the muksun.
A comprehensive project to preserve and restore forests that includes reforestation and environmental education initiatives for the Tyumen Region residents. It engages local communities, teachers, school children and employees of the Company.
Since 2019, the project volunteers have planted over 14,000 spruce and pine seedlings and restored 3 ha of forest in the Tobolsk forest facility. The initiative was supported by Tomsk activists, who planted 3,000 pines in forests around Tomsk in 2021. The campaigns attracted over 300 participants, including heads of SIBUR’s facilities, corporate volunteers, and school and forest facility activists. They received support from public forest authorities in the Tyumen and Tomsk regions.
In 2020, Tobolsk Forest won the award for the Best Corporate Forest Conservation Project in the Reliable Partner – Environment national contest organised by the Reliable Partner association jointly with the Russian Ecological Society.
Three forest walking routes totalling 4 km developed by SIBUR in collaboration with the Tobolsk Integrated Research Station of RAS (Urals). The routes lie in the forests 1.5 km away from Russia’s largest petrochemical facility, ZapSibNeftekhim.
EcoTrail walking tours provide an insight into the unique Siberian nature and serve as a proof that nature and industrial facilities can co-exist with no negative consequences.
