Состоялась первая онлайн-акция Северного форума по устойчивому развитию – «Стерх – символ объединения регионов и стран». Акция посвящена сохранению редких видов животного мира Севера и Арктики. Организаторами акции выступили дирекция Северного форума во главе с Владимиром Васильевым, научный сотрудник, кандидат биологических наук Института биологических проблем криолитозоны Сибирского отделения Российской академии наук Инга Бысыкатова  и сотрудники конгресс-центра.

In 2019, the international expert platform was created in Yakutsk under the auspices of the Northern Forum – “The Northern Sustainable Development Forum”. The Northern Forum’s logo includes the White crane (Siberian crane), which is a symbol of Yakutia and personifies the unification different countries’ efforts to preserve a rare species of Arctic birds, included in the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List, as well as in the Red Data Books of Russia and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The Siberian Crane is a clear indicator of human impact on the habitat of a rare species and depends entirely on human attitudes, especially in the wintering grounds. At the same time, climate change in the Arctic is already having a serious impact on its nesting sites.

Именно поэтому Северный форум по устойчивому развитию начался с акции по сохранению редких видов растений и животных, и первым видом стал белый журавль  – стерх.

As part of the action, for a wide range of users, crowdfunding will be announced to raise funds for the publication of “The Siberian Crane and its Neighbors” booklet which is about waterfowl species in the Arctic. Also, scientific presentations of the participants of the online action and employees of Ulus Inspections for Nature Protection in the nesting and migration sites of the Siberian crane, as well as videos and children’ drawings from Russia, Mongolia and China dedicated to the Siberian crane will be published on the Northern Forum website in the "Save the White Cranes".

In total, about thirty people took part in the online action " The Siberian Crane is a symbol of unification of regions and countries", the main speakers were guests from Russia, Mongolia and China.
