"Such vast and ambitious tasks require a large cadre of specialists from various fields. At the same time, the concrete, applied tasks that our staff tackle on a daily basis remain vague and incomprehensible to a wide audience due to the high degree of abstraction in the very name of the fund. That is why, after long discussions and consultations, we decided to change the name of the Fund to the Environmental Protection Fund - Ecophone," said Sergey Rafanov, Director of the Fund.
"We have decided to focus on a limited range of tasks and the change of name in this case is a relevant step, more accurately reflecting the specifics of our future activities. At the same time, we are not abandoning the already launched projects and will certainly continue their implementation. This applies to the permafrost conservation project, the restoration of disturbed wetlands, and the Carbon Footprint Calculator, which is currently at the development stage. We also plan to continue organizing the annual International Children's Environmental Forum," explained Sergey Rafanov.
