| Summary: | The exploitation and development of energy resources in the Barents Sea has stimulated the development of central Siberias society, economy, industry, as well as transport systems for the transfer of resources to markets. The Angaro-Yenisei region, which covers the Yenisei River basin and par-tially that of the Ob Rivers tributaries, together with rivers flowing into the Kara Sea and the Laptev Sea, is blessed with vast natural resources. The region, however, has economic development problems. Due to the regions fragile environmental conditions, development should be encouraged in har-mony with the environment and the traditional life of the regions indigenous peoples. The regions situation is similar to the Russian Far East with respect to environmental and economic issues. Current and future projects for the Russian Norths development and their effects on the regions environment and indigenous peoples will be briefly discussed. |
