Rosneft is systematically working to preserve biodiversity and replenish the country's aquatic bioresources. From August to October of this year, the Company's subsidiaries released over 11.2 million juvenile fish, including species listed in the Red Book, into Russian waters.
Employees of enterprises and their children, activists of the "Movement of the First," students from partner universities, schoolchildren participating in the annual "Fresh View" environmental competition, and representatives of the regional offices of the Federal Agency for Fisheries took part in the fish stocking campaign.
RN-Yuganskneftegaz environmentalists released nearly 4.5 million juveniles of valuable fish species into Siberian rivers and reservoirs, including 2.21 million fingerlings of the endangered Siberian sturgeon, 2.21 million peled, and 42,000 muksun. Samotlorneftegaz enriched the rivers of the Ob-Irtysh basin with 720,000 muksun fingerlings and 40,000 nelma, while Kondaneft released 3.3 million peled fingerlings and 129,000 sturgeon. RN-Vankor specialists released more than 2 million sterlet fry, Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz – 74 thousand sterlet, Taas-Yuryakh Neftedobycha – 3.2 thousand sturgeon fry, and the Angarsk Petrochemical Company – 1.5 thousand sturgeon fry.
In the Volga-Ural region, Bashneft oil workers released 19,000 juveniles of valuable commercial fish—sterlet and brown trout—into the rivers of Bashkortostan. Udmurtneft employees sent 40,000 sterlet to waterways in Udmurtia. Orenburgneft specialists released 20,000 juvenile carp into waterways in the Orenburg region.
The Volga River's bioresources were replenished by the Saratov Oil Refinery with more than 32,000 carp fry, the Syzran Oil Refinery with 11,400 sterlet fry and 16,500 carp, the Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery with 17,000 carp and about 12,000 sterlet, the Kuibyshev Oil Refinery with 49,000 carp, and the Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company with 64,300 carp and 83,700 sterlet.
In the south of Russia, the Tuapse Oil Refinery produced 35.6 thousand Black Sea trout, which is listed in the Red Book.
At the request of the oil workers, the fry were raised in specialized fish farms with optimal conditions for adaptation and survival in the natural environment. The most favorable period, when the water is saturated with oxygen, was chosen for the release of the fry.
Rosneft employees actively participate in environmental campaigns and promote a culture of rational and responsible consumption of natural resources. Volunteers from the Company's facilities regularly clean up and improve the banks of rivers, lakes, and springs, and conduct environmental education classes at educational institutions.
