The Company has been providing support for a long-term programme focusing on the research and protection of lesser white-fronted geese (the Anatidae family) listed on the Red Data Book.
Rescuing
white-fronted geese
Scientists managed to learn more about the bird's distribution across the Taimyr Peninsula and even track its wintering grounds. The successful completion of seven research expeditions to the outlying parts
of the Putorana Plateau helped collect valuable data on the habits
of this rare goose and develop a strategy to protect this species. Thanks to the programme, Taimyr is now home to around 4,000 lesser
white-fronted geese.
