Bikin<\/span> National Park, an area of 1,160,469 hectares in the Far East of the Russian Federation, is the largest protected <\/span>old growth<\/span> forest in Eurasia\u2019s pre-temperate zone. The forest was under great threat from being destroyed by extractivist companies, but a small indigenous community managed to stand up to both the companies and the Russian authorities to create a National Park to protect their land.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

We hear from Pavel <\/span>Sulyandziga<\/span>, indigenous activist and member of the <\/span>Udege<\/span> indigenous group native to the <\/span>Bikin<\/span> forest, who describes his pivotal role in the creation of the park, and Polina <\/span>Shulbaeva<\/span>, who is the Russia Indigenous Coordinator for the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity (IIFB).\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Pavel \u2014<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Being able to live in and use the land is why Bikin Park is unique, and I think a lot of our success was due to the unity of the Udege people. Other indigenous people should understand that the situation completely depends on them. They should fight, and struggle to convince the authorities to share power with them, and not just take some subordinate role.<\/p>\n

Our land is an extremely attractive area for companies, especially for timber production and gold mining. In the 1970s, before it became a national park, a part of Bikin forest was sold to Hyundai, the South Korean company, so that they could use its resources. At that time, my people consisted of eight Udege groups who lived along different rivers within the park, but after the company came, four groups ceased to exist.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The disappearance of these four Udege groups wasn\u2019t a genocide<\/em><\/strong>, they weren\u2019t getting killed, they just vanished. They disappeared because the trees were destroyed, and without the river and the forest, they cannot survive.<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

When this happened, we made a decision to fight for our land, our tiger forest, otherwise we would face the same fate as those four groups of Udege.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\u00a0\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00a0\u00bb column_padding_tablet=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb
