In these pages I try to tell you everything I know about Vodlozero National
Park. Vodlozero is very big, if not the biggest, National Park in Europe,
Russia. As I've been there a few times, I decided to help the Park Administration
to get some publicity and especially to support their projects to increase
the size of the park. This park, although not very well known yet, is indeed
one of the most important biosphere and biodiversity preserves in the North
European Taiga.
This page is "unofficial" Home Page for Vodlozero park because
this is my personal project. I hope the park Administration will be able
to maintain these pages themselves in the future. Updated 22nd July 1997.
