The members are united by devotion to practical environmental action, a spirit of openness, cooperation and freedom of information, and the deep belief that we have one planet and the environment cannot be divided by national borders. The SEU's activities include: Environmental monitoring: Radiological monitoring in regions surrounding military plants and cities; Dioxin-pollution monitoring in regions surrounding paper-plants, and chemical-pollution monitoring in several regions of Russia and Uzbekistan; and Monitoring the management of boreal forests by Russian and multinational timber companies; Protection of biological diversity and the management of protected areas: A Bio-diversity Conservation Centre (BCC) programme was designed to facilitate long-term survival of nature reserves in the CIS countries; The first private nature reserve was established in Amur region to save nesting habitat of rare crane species; and Designated and established many protected areas. Non-governmental environmental-impact assessments of several energy projects were managed by SEU experts. The SEU is also active in environmental education, sustainable development issues, environmental aspects of local self-government, development of new environmentally sound technologies, and military conversion issues, among others.
