On the Russian side, researchers from almost all federal districts of the country will deliver their presentations.
For the Karelian Research Center RAS, cooperation with BRICS is a promising and productive avenue. Scientists at KarRC RAS are already actively collaborating with colleagues from Brazil, China, and India, and there are also some joint activities with scientists from South Africa. The multidisciplinary approach of Karelian scientists can provide a basis for utilizing the scientific potential of KarRC RAS in the interests of the Republic, Russia, and other BRICS countries.

Scientists pin down a first finding of wolf-dog hybrids in the wild in Karelia
Genetic study of wolves taken down by hunters in Karelia shows hybrids from crossing between wild animals and dogs are appearing in the population. Scientists believe this may be driven by the hunting pressure – a survival strategy for the species. On the other hand, hybridization and inbreeding – crossings between close relatives – jeopardize the population in general. Meanwhile, wolves play a pivotal ecological role.
