ИСТИНА

For the last two years our interdisciplinary team has been working on the Cherished Meadow (Zapovedniy lug, in Russian) project. This is an unprecedented happening, as it is the first project of its kind in decades that involves building a city park in Moscow for the sole purpose of sustaining the ecosystem rather than for entertainment. The project was born as a civil society initiative, without any financing. The joint efforts of biologists, landscape architects, architects, local officials, and district residents brought about a project equally beneficial to both nature and people.
