Young people - the best advocates for nature

Studies have shown that climate change will cause a shift of climatic zones in the ecosystems of Altai-Sayan, resulting in animal migration. In response, a buffer zone of about 600,000 hectares of protected forests has been created between the Western and Eastern part of the region to protect the migration routes of globally threatened species, such as the snow leopard, lynx, European red deer, elk, argali, and more.
