W. Putin has appointed that this will be the “greenest” OG ever. Sochi is situated in Caucausus Region of Russia. This wild beauty region is protected by Sochi National Park and the and the bordering buffer zone of the Western Caucasus reserve with status of a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s hard to believe that without international control principles of sustainable development will be preserved.
This concern is confirmed by the report of a UNESCO monitoring team which visited Sochi in April 2008. It asserts that facilities are too close to the buffer zones and other boundaries of the reserves.
We support NGOs in they endeavour to protect one of the last wild alpine areas at the eastern edge of Europe, with many unique plant and animal species, from irreversible devastation.
Read letters to UNESCO and articles below to find out about the threats to the nature reserves and how Russian government influences NGOs (f.e. WWF-Russia) to pay off their pressure.

The United Nations and the IOC
are both condemning Russia’s appalling environmental butchery of the
Sochi region as it is raped in preparation for the Olympics. Paul
Goble reports:
Thursday, Russia’s Vice Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak appealed to
ecologists “not to block” the construction of facilities for the Sochi
Olympic Games now planned for 2014, the latest indication of the way in
which Moscow has found itself under pressure from environmental
activists.
