VLADIVOSTOK, October 7 (Itar-Tass) -- The fifth international
ecological forum "Nature without boundaries" has ended its work in
Vladivostok on Friday.
During two days, the forum participants from Russia and 11 foreign

States, Great Britain and other countries, discussed issues of switching
over to "green economy," development of nanoecology, ecological tourism,

Participants managed to discuss in detail possibilities of the
Primorsky Territory to attract tourists from countries of the Asia-Pacific
region, problems of protected territories, including national parks. They
discussed in detail the results of studies of the radioactive background
on the territory of the Far East after the accident at the Fucushima-1
NPP. A lot of attention was paid at the forum to border cooperation, in

"Leopard Land" to protect the rarest Far Eastern leopards.
Telling about the results of the forum at a press conference in
Vladivostok, vice-governor of the territory Viktor Myasnik said that the
Primorsky Territory in the coming years is to do a serious work in the
sphere of energy saving. He noted that the administration of Primorye
jointly with the Far Eastern branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
will work out a complex of measures to introduce sources using sun and
wind energy while building facilities in the coastal zone. Proposals made
at the forum will also be used while working out decisions in the field of
ecotourism.
