Major Activities. The final report on the baseline public opinion survey on forest fires and prevention was completed and distributed to Advisory Council members in Irkutsk. DVTRK-radio interviewed Xxxx Xxxxxx about the survey results on June 27. Two forest fire prevention-oriented social message video clips and four audio clips have been produced.

"AutoRadio" is also ready to begin production of audio clips targeting people who travel by car to the forest. DVTRK-TV reported on the Children's Forest Fire Prevention even in Pereyaslovka (24th of June) for their news and children program. And "Vostok of Russia" covered this event in a special news report. Forest fire danger monitoring has begun at all three TV stations, and four radio stations use the monitoring information on their news programs.
Major Activities. Immediately following Component 2 field training session and Working Group meeting in Krasnoyarsk in mid-April, project efforts were directed at three major tasks: 1) preparing for Forest Resources and Technology Project Year OneAnnual Report field work; 2) preparing the Workplan for Year 2; and 3) presentation of Year 1 accomplishments and the Workplan for Year 2 to the Advisory Council in June. Although the team had been preparing for field work since the Project was approved last December, the expansion of planned activities to Khakassia, Tuva, and Irkutsk Oblast meant that new contracts and agreements had to be developed and approved, more equipment and supplies had to be procured, and more drivers, cars and workers had to be located, procured and/or trained. Much of this had to be accomplished while writing the new Workplan and everything had to be completed prior to mid-April when the insects would begin their mating flights. Simultaneously, staff were pulling together our first year accomplishments, beginning to write- up results on completed tasks and developing descriptions of new and/or expanded work for the second year. The turn around time for this was short and a draft Workplan was due by May 15 for translation.. Nevertheless, the due date was met and the team was able to incorporate last minute changes suggested by the Mission in Moscow prior to the actual Advisory Council meeting in Irkutsk on June 27-28. In summary, the Component 2 teams departed for the field on time and were well prepared to accomplish their tasks with every assurance of success. Accomplishments from Year One and the Workplan for Year 2 were presented at the June Advisory Council meeting were well- received by the Advisory Council members and approved with only one recommendation for change, that being a title change to recognize the monitoring and prediction aspects of the work.

An example of this was seen when a small, older woman was describing her medicinal herb business when another woman interrupted with words to the effect “I’ve heard about you and have not been able to find you until this very moment.” At a break shortly afterward, both of them were seen discussing possibilities and each exuded more hope and excitement than anyone else at the meeting.
