Russia's Prime Minister Kosyanov signs a decree supporting creation
of nine new zapovedniks and 12 new national parks by the year 2010.
(ITAR-TASS) Russia's Prime Minister Kosyanov signed a decree declaring
the Government's intentions to establish nine new zapovedniks and 12 new

announce in early July. The list of protected areas is nearly identical
