We have created and are maintaining Karakan Natural Reserve

We take good care of the nature of the Kuzbass steppes

In 2012 in cooperation with the Administration of Kemerovo region, scientific and public organizations we created landscape natural reserve area – Karakan Natural Reserve by donating part of our lands containing the unique steppe ecosystems into the protected natural area

In collaboration with the scientists we have created Karakan Natural Reserve; we are continuing to fund the works of biological monitoring and restoration of the lands of Kuzbass steppes. Based on this research we are planning to choose the optimal method of restoration of the disturbed lands
