United Altai

This project offers grants to those who are working to preserve and develop the cultures and the land of the magnificent Altai. This project is in response to the proposed pipeline across the Ukok Plateau and the hydroelectric station planned for the Katun River (as well as the ongoing erosion of Altai culture). The trajectories of these two massive projects lie in the pristine wild lands and historic-cultural relics of the Altai people who inhabit four separate countries, Russia, Kazahkstan, Mongolia, and China. SEN funding for this project includes a gathering of representative elders and leaders at an annual conference with the purpose of developing unity and effectiveness in protecting their culture and sacred lands.
