In Murmansk, consultations were held with representatives of the indigenous peoples of the Murmansk region and reindeer herding enterprises of the Lovozero district. The event discussed the conduct of an ethnological examination, planned in connection with the development of the largest lithium deposit in Russia - Kolmozerskoye.
The participants discussed the algorithm of interaction of the new enterprise "Polar Lithium" with local residents and the conduct of ethnological expertise. The PORA Expert Center will act as the operator of the ethnological expertise.
Nikolai Doronin, Chairman of the Board of the Arctic Development Project Office, took part in the meeting. The meeting was also attended by representatives of the largest organizations of indigenous peoples and reindeer farms in the region, invited experts and lawyers on the rights of indigenous peoples, civil society activists, specialists from authorities.
“The purpose of ethnological expertise is to assess the impact of the enterprise on the life of indigenous peoples living in this territory. It must "digitize" the extent of this impact. It is important to record those who live in the zone of influence of the enterprise, measure the indicators of the environmental situation, collect and verify all possible information about the nature and extent of traditional crafts, about sacred places, about the habitats of rare species of flora and fauna. We already have experience in conducting such an examination in another Arctic region,” said Nikolai Doronin.
It is worth noting that in 2020 PORA acted as the operator of the ethnological examination, which took place on the Taimyr Peninsula.
