Bashneft Planted Almost 750,000 Trees
23 October 2024
Bashneft, which is part of Rosneft, planted 748,000 trees on more than 200 hectares in 2024. It is 45% higher year-on-year. Planting took place in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra and Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
Preservation of the environment for future generations is an integral part of the corporate culture of Rosneft. The Company implements large-scale environmental programmes aimed at minimising environmental impact, improving the eco-friendly production, and preserving and replenishing natural ecosystems.
Bashneft employees landscaped the territories in two stages: in spring, 158,000 trees were planted on 37 hectares, and in autumn, 590,000 seedlings were planted on 164 hectares.
One of the key environmental activities this year was the planting of 24,000 seedlings by employees of Bashneft-Dobycha (a subsidiary of Bashneft) in the Asly-Kul Nature Park in the Davlekanovsky District of Bashkiria. The planting is part of a large-scale programme aimed at preventing waterlogging of Aslikul, the largest lake in Bashkortostan. Last autumn, Bashkir oil workers began to restore the forest around the north-western part of the reservoir. The company's employees planted a total of 68,000 pine seedlings and 10,000 larch seedlings in this natural park, resulting in three forest areas of 19.5 hectares.
Experts of the Biology Research Centre of the Ufa Federal Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences believe that the planting of a coniferous forest in the north-western part of Lake Aslikul will stop the processes of waterlogging of the shores and preserve the water body for future generations.
Over the last 5 years, thanks to the initiatives of Bashkir oil workers, more than 5.2 million trees have been planted on over 1.5 thousand hectares. The young green expanses will soon transform into robust coniferous forests, facilitating the restoration and conservation of ecological balance.
