International Seedbank for Cultivated Plants and Wild Flora in the Permafrost Strata of Yakutsk Utilizing Natural Cold
Location: Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia
Status: In Progress
The project involves the creation of a seed cryo-storage facility to preserve the gene pool of seed collections from the perspectives of energy efficiency, autonomy, and storage reliability through low-temperature preservation within permafrost strata.
Conducted research has shown that after 45 years of storing plant seeds at a depth of 9-12 meters within the permafrost strata in Central Yakutia (without re-sowing), both genetic integrity, as well as physiological and sowing properties (germination rate, survival rate), are preserved by 80-85%
World Mammoth Center – International Scientific and Tourist Complex
Location: Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia
Status: Planning Phase
The World Mammoth Center (WMC) is a next-generation international scientific and tourist complex being established in Yakutsk, combining:
- Research and laboratory infrastructure focused on the study of mammoth fauna, climate, and biotechnology;
- A museum and exhibition center with modern display formats, including digital and immersive solutions;
- Educational spaces for a broad audience;
- A natural testing ground for scientific expeditions and field observations;
- Hotel and tourist infrastructure, including a themed "Ice Age" park.
- The project is being implemented as the core of a new institutional environment in the Arctic and a symbol of the region's scientific breakthrough. The WMC operates at the intersection of science, culture, ecology, and sustainable development.
Establishment of the Scientific Ornithological Observatory "Flight of the Siberian Crane" in the Okhotsky-Perеvoz Area
Location: A joint international project between the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (nesting sites) and Chinese nature reserves (Poyang Lake) (wintering sites), encompassing the territory of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China (migratory routes of the Siberian Crane).
Status: In Progress
The project involves the creation of an International Ornithological Observatory - a comprehensive center with a modern scientific station for year-round research, including a Bird Ringing Station, as well as infrastructure for ecological tourism: observation towers, environmental education trails, and guest houses harmoniously integrated into the landscape. There's a great emphasis on interdisciplinarity: from monitoring bird migrations to botany and geology. The project will not only deepen knowledge about the ecosystems of Yakutia but also develop strategies for their conservation in the face of climate change.
The International Observatory is positioned as a platform for global knowledge exchange, a focal point that attracts researchers from around the world. It is an example of how science, culture, and tourism can become a driving force for the region's sustainable development.
Far Eastern multifunctional full-cycle film studio in Yakutsk.
Location: Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia
Status: In Progress
The object will become the only full-cycle factory for film production in the Far East. The mission of the Far Eastern multifunctional full-cycle film studio in Yakutsk is the development of film production in the Far East. The project will provide pavilions for filming, recording studios, noise design, editing, color correction, creation of visual effects, make-up and props, scenery workshop, filming equipment and special vehicles, office premises. The core of the film studio will be a modular prefabricated XR screen to recreate any locations and interiors all year round, regardless of weather conditions.t.
Construction of a Deep-Sea Port in the Settlement of Nayba
Location: Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia
Status: Planning Phase
Construction of a year-round deep-sea terminal in the settlement of Nayba (Kharaurakh Bay, 112 km from the settlement of Tiksi, coast of the Laptev Sea). The project envisages a phased expansion of port capacities. The new seaport will have both liquid and dry cargo areas; Phase 1 plans to create 2 berths. Currently, 2 berth type options are being considered (pontoon and permanent), 2 (for pontoon berths) or 3 (for permanent berths) mobile loading cranes with a lifting capacity of 64 tons, a cargo pump and fuel storage tanks are envisaged for the permanent berth option. The project will become a driver for the development of a number of related mining projects. Reference information on port operation period: With the pontoon berth option, the port's operation period will be from June to September. With the permanent berth option, the port's operation period will be year-round with icebreaker escort (the bay freezes from October to May).
