With the support of Rosneft, the annual outdoor photo exhibition "Attraction of the Arctic" opened on Tverskoy Boulevard in Moscow. The project was developed jointly with the non-governmental development institute Innopraktika. The exhibition aims to showcase the unique natural environment of the Arctic region and is open to the public until January 25.
The exhibition features images from the Company's environmental atlases, photographs from Rosneft's research expeditions, and images of production facilities. Residents and visitors to the capital can admire the stunning beauty of the flora and fauna of this northern region and learn about the extensive scientific research conducted in the Far North. Rosneft has been implementing a comprehensive scientific research program in the Arctic region since 2012.
During this time, the company has conducted over 60 expeditions in five Arctic seas, collecting a unique wealth of information about the region. Such large-scale scientific work has not been conducted since Soviet times. Geological, oceanographic, hydrometeorological, and environmental research is conducted jointly with the country's leading scientific institutes. The exhibition presents the full diversity of these research sites.
In 2024, the company launched a new biodiversity conservation program called "Tamura." Research is underway on the Taimyr Peninsula, studying reindeer, polar bears, valuable bird species, and fish in the Yenisei River estuary.
Rosneft, together with Innopraktika, also implemented a large-scale environmental project in the White Sea. During the expeditions, scientists retraced the route of renowned Soviet hydrobiologist Konstantin Deryugin, which he completed over 100 years ago. Experts concluded that the White Sea ecosystem remains stable. This allows the region to be considered a benchmark for comparison with other Arctic territories. However, research has revealed insufficient knowledge of the fauna of the Arctic seas: up to 30% of species remain of uncertain taxonomic status.
Scientists at the Arctic Research Center, together with Innopraktika, have developed a unique bio-product, "Oceanida," for the disposal of chronic hydrocarbon pollution. This year, the product received a positive assessment from the state environmental review.
The results of research into the Russian North make a significant contribution to science and are presented in a series of ecological atlases published jointly by the Company and Innopraktika. Since 2016, more than 10 scientific publications have been released, including: "The Kara Sea," "The Laptev Sea," "Marine Mammals of the Russian Arctic and Far East," "The Black and Azov Seas," "Species – Biological Indicators of the State of Marine Arctic Ecosystems," "The Barents Sea," and others.
