From December 1 to 5, the 21st Annual Conference “United Nations Model in the Far East” was held for students and senior pupils at the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University on Russky Island with the participation of the Amur Tiger Center. FSUE “Rosmorport”, acting as a partner of the center, honored the most brilliant and bright participants of the conference – at the end of the event they received branded souvenirs.

Global issues of climate change and population movement, international security and sustainable development were the main topics of the “United Nations Model in the Far East” in 2022.

During the conference, a representative of the Amur Tiger Center made a report, speaking about measures taken by domestic specialists to study and preserve the Amur tiger population in Russia.

FSUE “Rosmorport” and the Amur Tiger Center started cooperation in 2022. The funds allocated by the enterprise to the center are aimed at strengthening the fight against illegal hunting in the Amur tiger natural habitat, providing equipment for groups resolving conflicts between large predators and humans, supporting specially protected natural territories, as well as carrying out measures to improve environmental awareness of the population in the predator's habitat.

In 2021, FSUE “Rosmorport” supported an expedition for the study and preserve of the Caspian seal, acting as a partner of the Clean Seas (Chistye Morya) Foundation. The enterprise provided assistance for the ecological expedition: it helped to purchase equipment for monitoring marine animals, provided rental, maintenance and refueling of an aircraft for aviation monitoring.

For reference:

At the “United Nations Model” Conference, students and senior pupils reproduce the work of the United Nations. The participants – delegates, observers, chairmen and experts – act as official representatives of the UN member states and international organizations who has arrived at the conference to discuss the agenda. Delegates of the “United Nations Model” event discuss international issues, expressing not a personal point of view, but an official position of a country they represent, learn to find a compromise and come to an agreement.
