The President of the Club, E.V. Bendersky, addressed the participants of the meeting, told about the implementation of the Club's environmental initiatives.
This year, with the financial support of the Club, the first stage of the program for the study, conservation and rational use of a new subspecies of the snow sheep of the Kharaulakh ridge was implemented, developed by the KGO together with the relevant departments of the Ministry of Ecology and Nature Management of Russia, the Ministry of Ecology and Nature Management of Yakutia, as well as a number of scientific institutions in Russia.
The start of this program was given thanks to the scientific work of the All-Russian Institute of Animal Husbandry on genotyping biological samples of snow sheep, including those collected by members of the Club. Thanks to the research of Natalia A. Zinovieva (director of the Institute) and researcher Arsen Dotsev, the genetic difference between snow sheep living on the Kharaulakh ridge in Yakutia from other subspecies of sheep was revealed. In August 2021, an expedition was undertaken to carry out current accounting work and collect scientific information about this subspecies of sheep. Processing the results of the expedition and genetic research data makes it possible to make a decision on the inclusion of the Kharaulakh snow sheep in the KGO rating tables, as well as to give reasonable recommendations to international hunting clubs on the allocation of this subspecies in their trophy categories. The implementation of this program will continue next year. To ensure this, it is planned to create a special fund for the study and conservation of the Kharaulakh snow sheep.
To date, the costs of implementing the first stage of the program amounted to 7,336,400 rubles.
The project to restore the number of Caucasian chamois and bezoar goat in the North Caucasus, fundraising for which was started last year, entered a new phase in 2021:
The Department of State Policy and Regulation in the field of Hunting and the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Federal Center for the Development of Hunting" of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, with the support of the Club, began trapping animals to create breeding stock in the nursery. As of today, 3 chamois have already been placed in the nursery, one of them was born already in our nursery, and 5 bezoar goats. It is impossible not to note the contribution to the implementation of this project of the head of the hunting Department of the MPR Filatov A.A. and the director of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Federal Center for the Development of Hunting Economy" Morgunov N.A.
The financial expenses of the Club for the implementation of the creation of a Nursery and the capture of animals amounted to 64,037,000 rubles.
The implementation of such large-scale environmental projects would have been impossible without the financial support of Club members, project sponsors, participants of the annual Auction of the Club.
The President of the Club celebrated the new patrons Vyacheslav Gorb, Magomed Nabiev and Vyacheslav Saakov with the presentation of commemorative plaques and badges.
Many members of the Club are at the same time members of other international clubs, receive high recognition at the international level. Alexander Egorov is the only Russian who has been awarded the highest hunting award – the Weatherby Prize. Today we also congratulate him on the award of the OVIS Prize– the highest award of the OVIS Grand Slam International club. This year Vyacheslav Gorb and Sergey Yastrzhembsky joined the Spanish club of mountain hunters Culminum Magister. Many members of the CLC participate in the ratings of the International Safari Club SCI, the OVIS Club. Yuri Vasiliev was awarded the Prize "Goats and Capricorns 20" by the Ovis International Club this year.
Sergey Yastrzhembsky was awarded the highest international award for hunting ethics and environmental activities - the Conklin Prize for 2022. This year, a big event was the release of S. Yastrzhembsky's film "Hope Shot" on the cinema screens. The premiere of the film took place within the framework of the Moscow International Film Festival.
