Let's help the bison this winter!

November 28, 2025

Bison once reigned over the plains of Europe. Powerful landscape architects and forest engineers, their grazing, browsing, loosening the soil, and dispersing seeds create a vibrant, sparse landscape in which hundreds of other species can thrive.

Bison are essential to local ecosystems and our overall well-being. Therefore, we continue to raise funds to purchase bison hay and grain. in the Klyazminsko-Lukhsky Nature Reserve Vladimir region.

Already collected ₽404,945 out of ₽927,600.

Imagine spring: strong adult bison, a forest that is once again living to the fullest. And all this thanks to you!

A Second Life for Things: The Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank (RSHB) has identified the main technological and consumer trends in recycling.

The Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank presented an overview of the key areas of future recycling. Among the drivers of recycling growth, experts identified chemical recycling, the implementation of artificial intelligence and robots to automate waste sorting, data analysis, and logistics optimization, as well as technologies that extend the life of materials.

Artificial Intelligence and Waste Valorization

Growing demand for recycling is driving recyclers worldwide to improve efficiency. Chemical and advanced mechanical processing methods, which can enhance the value of waste, may be promising areas for recycling. At the same time, recycling offers significant opportunities for implementing artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to improve operational efficiency. These technologies can optimize logistics, from monitoring container fill levels to developing intelligent collection routes.

Consumer trends and recycling

According to the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank, a study uncovered various eco-habits have become firmly entrenched in the daily lives of Russians. Equal shares of respondents—31% each—use reusable bottles or mugs and conserve electricity and water. Another 18% of participants noted that they regularly recycle clothing and electronics or donate them to charity. Eight percent of respondents each expressed a preference for packaging-free goods or locally sourced products. Only 4% of respondents reported no eco-habits in their daily lives.

The Ecology Foundation not only analyzes trends but also actively implements them through its own projects and initiatives.

"Today, contributing to environmental conservation is a conscious choice Russians make every day," comments Elmira Morozova, director of the Ecology Foundation. "By choosing items that are reusable or made from recycled materials, each of us initiates an important cycle. We see growing public demand for recycling projects, and we're pleased that more and more people support the idea of giving things a second life. That's why the Foundation is implementing its recycling collection initiatives."

Environmental education and recycling

To engage all generations in environmental initiatives, the Foundation regularly holds recycling drives. Children in schools and kindergartens collected 29.7 tons of wastepaper over two years as part of the "Let's Plant a Forest Together!" campaign. Environmental education efforts are also carried out at leading Russian universities: Foundation experts hold poster sessions on microplastics for students. Employees of the Russian Agricultural Bank (RSHB) recycle old clothing, toothbrushes, and even CDs, and in 2025, a collection drive for blister packs of medications was held, with 15 kg of tablets sent for recycling.

The Foundation's "Gift Showcase" also supports the "nothing goes to waste" principle. Here, you can purchase stylish shopping bags made from recycled materials, water bottles made from recycled plastic, greeting cards with seeds, and pens made from recycled containers. This is the most direct and clear way to demonstrate how something that seems like trash acquires new value and usefulness.

The Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank supported three promising projects of the Rosatom environmental accelerator.

The Rosatom Environmental Accelerator Demo Day, organized to support environmental initiatives in the country's nuclear regions, took place in Moscow. The jury selected the best teams, who received grants of 500,000 rubles. The Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank, a partner of the event, established an additional nomination and awarded funding to the three most promising participants.

The second season of Rosatom's environmental accelerator confirmed the high demand for green solutions: 238 projects from entrepreneurs, environmental volunteers, public and educational organizations applied for participation. As a result, 19 teams from 14 Russian regions received grant support.

Participants presented their ideas in the areas of greening, natural area restoration, ecotourism, eco-product manufacturing, and waste management. During the educational section, with the support of mentors, the authors tested their hypotheses, refined their models, and made significant progress in their implementation.

Special prizes from the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank were awarded to:

"Garden on the Palm" is a plant nursery in the Sverdlovsk region specializing in growing zoned arborvitaes and pine seedlings. The project's creators adhere to principles of sustainable nature management, employing the "green cuttings" method and using recycled materials.

· "Pump Tracks" is a project to create cycling tracks from recycled plastic, aimed at popularizing an environmentally friendly approach to the development of sports infrastructure;

"Hand in Glass – Build Russia": a closed-loop project for organizing glass collection and recycling. The team not only collects recyclable materials but is also developing its own foam glass and foam glass aggregate production plant. A grant from the Ecology Foundation will be used to purchase an additional container for collecting glass from the public, expanding the project's geographic reach.

"We believe it's crucial to identify and support specific environmental initiatives in business. The Rosatom Accelerator has brought together a large number of eco-friendly projects distinguished by their creative approach and effectiveness. As a Foundation, we see our role not only in promoting them but also in providing specific resource support," noted Elmira Morozova, Director of the Ecology Foundation at the Russian Agricultural Bank.

Actress, screenwriter, and stand-up comedian Irina Gorbacheva is known for her sincerity and proactive approach to life, including environmental issues. For her, mindful consumption, minimalism, plastic-free living, and respect for nature are not just a fad, but a meaningful way of life.

Irina regularly shares her eco-friendly habits with her followers and personal experiences. In one post, she showed how she uses reusable containers while traveling and at home, emphasizing that it's not at all difficult and helps reduce waste. She supports eco-brands and Russian sustainable fashion producers, avoids impulse purchases, and reassesses her wardrobe, opting for high-quality, durable items.

Irina has also repeatedly spoken out in support of zero waste and urged her audience to be critical of excessive consumption, especially in the fashion and beauty industries. She addresses the issue of the human ecological footprint—whether it's plastic in the oceans or the carbon footprint of everyday life—and does so in her own unique way: simply, ironically, and honestly.

Irina places particular emphasis on mental health and the human connection to nature. In her interviews, she speaks about the importance of returning to simple things—walks in nature, inner silence, and solitude—as a path to restoration and harmony. This is an integral part of her personal philosophy—and an important message: caring for the planet begins with caring for yourself.

Irina Gorbacheva exemplifies how personal openness, sincerity, and interest in environmental issues can inspire thousands of people.

15,200 pine saplings to save Aslykul

A large-scale tree-planting campaign, organized by the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank (RSHB) in collaboration with the local forestry department and the regional branch of the agricultural bank, concluded in Bashkortostan's Aslykul Nature Park. The campaign consisted of two stages: in mid-October, bank employees planted 8,000 saplings, and later, forest rangers replanted the remaining pine trees. A total of 15,200 coniferous trees were planted across four hectares of the lake's shoreline. The new forest plantings will help restore the park's biological and landscape diversity and play a significant role in combating desertification in the surrounding areas and the drying up of the lake, which is the largest lake in Bashkortostan.

The seedlings were brought from a nursery in the Sverdlovsk region. Pine is a unique coniferous tree: it promotes healthy and clean air, provides shelter and food for numerous animal and bird species, its deep root system anchors the soil on slopes, preventing erosion, regulates water flow, grows quickly, and helps restore ecological balance across a vast area.

The campaign won't be limited to tree planting alone. According to Elmira Morozova, Director of the Ecology Foundation, over the next two years, a contractor, working with the nature park staff, will monitor the survival rate of the saplings and provide the necessary care for the pine trees—everything will be done to ensure a survival rate of at least 80%.

"Such large-scale events have been organized since 2022," says Guzel Gilmanova, director of the Aslykul Nature Park. "We carry out plantings both in the spring and fall, involving a large number of volunteers. This time, we received assistance from the Ecology Foundation of the Agricultural Bank. All of this is being done to preserve the lake. The trees are surviving well. I think in a few years, we'll see a beautiful pine forest here."

WINTER IS COMING!

November 14, 2025

When snow falls thickly, even strong and resilient animals face a food shortage. Finding enough food in the forest becomes difficult, and it's during this period that supplementary feeding determines how many animals survive until spring.

Every donation is a bag of hay or grain, and therefore a chance to save a rare population.

Collected to date: ₽126,142 out of ₽927,600

Animals cannot ask for help themselves, but they really need it.

Support winter feeding of bison right now.

We can only save nature together!

Help nature right now and contribute to these projects. Every donation is important. Together we can do more.

It's important not only to plant a forest but also to maintain it for decades to come. With regular support, we can ensure the forest is supported and meets all the necessary conditions for proper growth. Continuous care is essential for the nascent ecosystem, ensuring that mushrooms and berries eventually thrive and that wildlife emerges. It's important to protect the forest from fire, remove weeds around young trees, nurture seedlings, collect and preserve seeds and acorns, dig up mature seedlings, and so on.
