From August 15 to September 5, within the framework of the Rossotrudnichestvo “New Generation” program, the project “Kamchatka: the North-Western Ring of Fire” is being held. Young researchers from the CIS countries, Egypt, China and Serbia take part in it.
Among the participants of the expedition is a Tajik young scientist, an employee of the biosafety laboratory of the Institute of Botany, Physiology and Genetics of Plants of the National Academy of Sciences Azam Kozizoda.
“Programs such as this expedition can be very important for understanding the main causes of environmental pollution and solving these problems; the impact of GMOs on biodiversity and human health; studying useful herbs to create new medicines,” Azam said.
It is expected that during the project, researchers will survey the territory of the peninsula to identify valuable natural-territorial complexes. In addition to the expedition in the field, young leaders will take part in the Ecosystem All-Russian Youth Ecological Forum.
