The press service of the project reported that at the moment the initiative groups in these countries are preparing official applications for the participation of their volunteers in the general cleaning of the Russian Arctic.
The first foreigners who joined the volunteer detachments of the "Clean Arctic" last year were representatives of the countries of Latin America and Central Africa.
The project involves foreign students studying in Russian universities. According to Ruslan Gubaidulin, Chairman of the Board of the Clean Arctic, the international volunteer teams showed the most significant results.
Andrey Nagibin, head of the Clean Arctic project office, in turn, said that he supports the international development of the project.
“The state of the ecology of the Arctic, whether it is healthy or sick, directly affects all countries and continents. We see that this is understood not only in Russia," he said.
According to Nagibin, the project management carefully selects volunteers. "Good physical shape and willingness to endure hardships, that's not all. Our volunteers are actively engaged in educational activities. Now this is happening only in Russia. But, I'm sure that new project participants from other countries will definitely join this important work and become ambassadors of the Clean Arctic in various parts of the world," he said.
