		Russian National parks and preserves, taiga ^Votes:0 Russian National parks During the last ten years I've made several tours to Russian National parks. One of them is Yugud-Va, in Komi, which is also one of the natural monuments in UNESCO World Heritage list. Park administrations need help to get status to these great nature protection areas of Europe. This way, these areas can be protected better. If you go to any of these places, please, respect local people, nature, leave absolutely no signs of your visit and return refreshed and alive to your home. For navigation there is a clickmap . Areas with recognised status (year of visit, year of update) : Vodlozero National Park , hypertext tours visit Apr, Aug 1994. update 1995.

As in any situation where new relationships are being formed we have found that we didn't know at least as much as we did know. That being said we have found that people everywhe Read More Go to Site
