The Yamal region has Eurasia’s richest oil and gas reserves, and is an important crossroads region where various geopolitical and financial interests intersect. With the opening up of new gas and oil fields, and construction of roads and pipelines, Yamal is experiencing rapid changes and is being challenged to reshape its many ‘frontiers’ in which people, energy, and decisions are closely linked to one another. Since the late 1970s, resource development projects have had significant impacts on the lives of the local people in the Purovsky tundra. Along with experiencing negative consequences, such as water and soil contamination and other impacts on land, society and wildlife, local communities have also developed creative ways of adaptation, decision-making, and self-organization.
