Early in the 1990s Karelian and Finnish scientists put forward the idea of the “Green Belt of Fennoscandia”
Ad hoc multidisciplinary programme for the study and conservation of the GBF natural and cultural environment has been initiated, and is now ongoing
In 2008, the scientific feasibility study of the Karelian PA network development was prepared. It highlights the role of GBF as a key component of the territory’s PA system
In 2010, scientists from KarRC prepared the concept of the long-term ad hoc programme “Republic of Karelia PA network development within the Green Belt of Fennoscandia”
