Each year, the Foundation’s events draw participants from 208 countries and territories, with more than 15,000 media representatives working on-site at Roscongress’ various venues. The Foundation benefits from analytical and professional expertise provided by 5,000 people working in Russia and abroad.

The Foundation works alongside various UN departments and other international organizations, and is building multi-format cooperation with 180 economic partners, including industrialists’ and entrepreneurs’ unions, financial, trade, and business associations from 81 countries worldwide, and 186 Russian public organizations, federal and legislative agencies, and federal subjects.

Environmental Awareness, Community Outreach to Support Tiger Conservation, and the Mobilization of Financial Resources
National parks should play a role in building settlements. They should be centres of economic activity. In order to achieve this, they need help. For one thing, they won’t do this themselves, and for another, they are not business-inclined – their strengths lie elsewhere. We want to establish certain industries there – small ones which will enable people to not just survive, but earn money, and which will be a supporting bedrock for the indigenous population

Environmental Awareness, Community Outreach to Support Tiger Conservation, and the Mobilization of Financial Resources
This festival – Tiger Day – was not our idea, and not initiated by us. We have been around for nine years, but the festival is 20 years old... It was the idea of a scientist by the name of Troinin. It was then held by the government of Vladivostok and other bodies for 10 years, and we gave this festival a certain vitality. There is criticism that we monopolized the event. And probably that’s right, but we monopolized it because nobody else involved in the process agreed to help fund it,

The Status of the Global Tiger Recovery Programme Implementation from 2010 to 2022
In addition, we managed, in a way, to bring about a revolution in the mentality of people living in the Far East, and particularly in places which are also home to the Siberian tiger. Today, killing a tiger is seen as a shameful act

Today, we are speaking about our major accomplishment in increasing Siberian tiger numbers over the past 12 years. Today, we are speaking about having reached a reassuring number. Our objective is to expand the habitat of the Siberian tiger so that it resembles previous boundaries

Today, we have identified poaching as the biggest threat to the tiger. Whereas in the past – a decade ago – we were talking about the death of 50–70 tigers per year at the hands of poachers, today experts estimate that this figure is more like 15–20. This is a big result

I would like to express my confidence in this forum being able to get the international community to pay greater attention to the issue of tiger conservation. We absolutely need to act together, because the tiger is a wonderful and noble predator that knows no borders. Therefore, only by working in concert will we be successful. Together, we need to focus on the threats that continue to exist to this day

The Year of the Tiger: Corporate Social Responsibility and the Protection of Animals
We need to change the current legislation in terms of corporate governance. We will talk about this at the Legal Forum. But I would like to talk about the reporting of non-profit organizations, including those in the economic sphere. Sergei Vladimirovich [Aramilev] and I decided that we would publish our next annual report: how much money we received and how we spent it. <...> We are not ashamed to do this, and we will publish it on a voluntary basis. And in the future, I think, it is necessary to introduce the law that requires organizations that are engaged in the protection of nature and in the protection of rare wild animals, to publish their reports, because this is very importan

The Year of the Tiger: Corporate Social Responsibility and the Protection of Animals
We are aware of such facts when some organizations, let's say, with an international colouring, are trying to build infrastructure, and then transfer it to our reserves. At the same time, the expenses that they claim are significantly higher than the acceptable and economically justified standards. We have examples when they tried to transfer three huts for RUB 70 million (they called it a recreation centre) to a natural reserve. Or when they tried to transfer a reintroduction centre worth RUB 20–30 million to a reserve, claiming it costs over 300 million. This means that the natural reserve is supposed to claim the expenses, set to price of this property and pay taxes accordingly

The Year of the Tiger: Corporate Social Responsibility and the Protection of Animals
We realized that in order to protect tigers, we need to protect their habitat, because tigers do not exist autonomously. They live in the forest, in a certain climatic environment, and the habitat affects the state of tiger population. Besides, even though the tiger is at the top of the food chain, it is still part of it. And that means it is also dependent on the welfare of other animals

Business by our example shows a very responsible attitude towards the conservation of rare animals. It is correct to say that here, of course, we need to be involved in the economy very closely

Notary Participation in Corporate Governance: Do Businesses Need Notarial Protection?
The same thing should be introduced in relation to natural monopolists. There is enormous public interest in this. And here it’s not a question of a notary’s optional participation, but a question of mandatory participation [...] It’s a good thing when a notary is actually the corporate secretary of a large public company or a natural monopolist

We are actively developing the system of registry offices. By mid-2023, we have plans to transition to a completely new model – the so-called registry model. Going forward, our citizens will no longer have to obtain certificates on paper. Everything will be in electronic form, and any state body will be able to independently request the relevant data and receive the corresponding extract just like a citizen

We are currently developing the Mobile Office project for free legal aid [...] Last year, we sent thirty such mobile offices to the regions. We are now sending nineteen, and before the New Year another thirty more should be sent to the regions. Above all, we are taking this project to the place where state legal bureaus will be created because this is an effective mechanism for providing free legal assistance

In the Russian Federation, 32 million people, even a little more, are entitled to free legal assistance. Unfortunately, though, not everybody knows this [...] In 2020, we provided just over 240,000 consultations, which [...] is less than 1%. We refused to tolerate this, and starting in 2021 we began to actively develop this project [of legal assistance], while basing it on customer centricity, which is expressed by providing this service proactively. We have begun work to create a legal aid portal, while at the same time creating a register of citizens who are entitled to free legal aid. In this regard, based on the results of 2022, we are scheduled to launch a pilot project – a Legal Assistance portal in ten regions of the Russian Federation, and next year, I think, it will operate in all regions

Starting 1 September, we will have new disciplines – forensic science, also all [disciplines] [concerning] the activities of non-profit organizations... Because non-profit organizations, in general, have their own special features. Unfortunately, I checked a reference list, and there is no work on this topic. I am not even talking about so-called foreign agents – there isn’t anything on the subject at all. We can’t even understand on a theoretical level what a foreign agent is right now. As a matter of fact, there is no science or area of knowledge either. We will create one

The education we received in Soviet times really was excellent. What happened later – the division into bachelor’s and master’s degrees – I can’t explain why it happened. At the same time, I understand that we need to improve, and legal education, among other things, has to move forward, new faculties have to appear

‘Regulatory Guillotine’: A New Look at Old Requirements
I think, the term ‘regulatory guillotine’ does not fully and accurately describe what we do. Our goal is not to destroy the bad old, but to create the good new. And this good new should be of use for people, for those inspected. Our goal is to find balance between serving interests of society through respecting guarantees, rights, and legal interests of people and common sensible, optimal, reasonable monitoring and supervision activities, because we do not want to kill business and want to provide normal conditions not only for business, but for all those inspected

Discovering Harmony With the Planet and Understanding Global Trends in Ecotourism
In all honesty, there is a great deal of doubt in my mind that these projects are of interest to business. That is because again, the challenge is twofold: on the one hand, it is about preservation, on the other hand, it is about bringing in the crowds. It can often be the case that one task precludes the other. Either that, or visitor restrictions need to be applied. Naturally, business cannot be run by such approaches. If a loan is taken out, then there is the question of breaking even, of a company fulfilling its obligations to the bank
