Five rare species of birds and a new species of beetle

Supported by Nornickel, scientists of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS) study biodiversity in three regions: Transbaikal, the Kola Peninsula and the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. They discovered a white-tailed eagle, gyrfalcon, bean eagle, whooper swan and Siberian ash snail in the Norilsk industrial region during the Great Scientific Expedition. They also found a previously unknown species of weevil beetle. Scientists will have to think of a name for it now.
