Section 5 National IPA team Coordinating organisation:The World Conservation Union (IUCN) Programme Office for Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Moscow Coordinator: Galina Pronkina Recommendations Priorities for plant conservation in European Russia: ■ Prepare a list of endemic species for use in conservation work. ■ Create an inventory of plant species in regional and federal protected areas. ■ Assess the status of rare species using IUCN red listing criteria. ■ Prepare a list of Russian species for inclusion in global and European Red Lists and conservation lists. Russia and the CIS Region By Galina Pronkina The Russian Federation and the Commonwealth of Independent States cover a vast area of Europe and Asia with a range of habitats from the polar deserts of the Arctic to the sandy deserts of central Asia. There is a wealth of landscape types, plants and fungi, from the tundra, taiga and wetlands of the north to the steppes and grasslands of the south, to the diverse mountain areas of the Caucasus. The IUCN-CIS Moscow Office acts as a focal point for the European Plant Conservation Strategy and the IPA project in Russia and the CIS Region.They work to raise awareness for plant conservation, disseminate Russian-language materials, establish networks of specialists and stakeholders, and develop project proposals with partners. Awareness raising In order to raise awareness among specialists and stakeholders, IUCN-CIS has translated the European Plant Conservation Strategy, the IPA Site Selection Manual and information leaflets into Russian and distributed them in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia,Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Other information materials have also been published in Russian (see references). An IPA workshop was also held at the International Symposium on Steppes of Northern Eurasia in Orenburg, 2003. ■ Assess the effectiveness of the protected area system for plant conservation. ■ Assess the conservation priorities for species, habitats and sites. ■ Identify Important Plant Areas and assess protection status. The following areas have been identified as particularly unique, valuable or vulnerable areas, where plant conservation action is needed urgently: ■ The agricultural and steppe zone of the central and southern part of European Russia. ■ The Russian Arctic (European and Asian), a priority region for IUCN. ■ The Caucasus and central Asia (Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan). 56
Russia JONATHAN RUDGE Ongoing work Belarus The IPA project in Belarus is the first practical project in the region and has demonstrated the need for fieldwork in validating data, the need to develop regionally relevant species and habitats lists, and the value of regional teams for developing the project in different countries. (see Belarus section above for details) Russia IUCN-CIS has disseminated Russian-language materials and information and the Russian national network of specialists, protected area managers and government representatives, continues to increase. IUCN-CIS is working on a study of the rare and threatened species of European Russia, which illustrates the need to update global and regional plant conservation lists with the latest information from Russia. Of the 273 species listed in the Red Data Book for the European part of Russia, which includes 125 endemic or near-endemic species, only 81 of these were included in the Global Red List (1997) and only 15 species are included in the Bern Convention.This study also illustrated that only 32% of Russia’s rare species are conserved in strictly protected areas such as Zapovedniks.
