You know Yellowstone Park, but have you heard of the Valley of the Geysers in Kronotsky Zapovednik? Or the new national park network to protect Siberian tiger habitats in the Russian Far East? Why should you care?…because nature doesn't respect political boundaries. Climate change, global warming, destruction of natural habitat and loss of biodiversity affect us all, no matter where they occur.

American Councils is proud to present the 43rd issue of Russian Conservation News (RCN) . For nearly 15 years RCN provided an English language forum for Russians and Americans interested in supporting the wild areas of Eurasia. It has testified to the enduring strength of grass roots collaboration between Russian and American environmentalists. In 2008 American Councils took over responsibility for the publication with the mission of turning into a bilingual publication, expanding its audience, and educating a new generation of Russians and Americans in the importance of protecting these unique landscapes of global significance.
