Investlesprom and ecological organizations: partnership experience

Print
The relationship between SPOK and its consulted companies can be illustrated by the example of its interaction with “Severnaya Lesozagotovitel’naya kompania” (SLZK) in Karelia. In 2006 the partnership with SPOK went smoothly since there were little barely disturbed forests. The issue of biotopes detection interested the company so much that in collaboration with SPOK it developed “Field key biotopes identifier of Middle Karelia” in 2007 and in 2009 such identifier was developed by SPOK for all Karelia. SPOK taught this business to company’s specialists and according to contract’s terms it continued territories’ inspection in search for especially valuable forest areas.

Disagreements with SLZK began later when due to lack of management resources the company could not duly monitor biotopes identification process. In the course of auditorial checks in 2008-2009 SPOK found a number of inconsistencies and incompleteness in this matter. Moreover during further inspection the issue of barely disturbed forests detection became sharper. IN 2007 SPOK found a new old-age area nearby Maslozero lake where the company estimated to implement felling and had already constructed a road for that. The isolation of this area from felling became an arena for hard negotiations during which SPOK turned from “ideal partner” into “active opposition”.

However during long disputes and discussions there was found a compromise acceptable for both parties. But along with holding’s territories extension there were found more and more “controversial” areas.
