The Russian party made a supposition that the trilateral cross border area in the Arctic could lay a claim to UNESCO heritage status. The seminar was a good start point for long- term cooperation on the nature and culture heritage conservation in our cross border area.

12 The book Hans Schaanning First Ornithologist of Pasvik is published in Russian and in English. We consider it is one of the main outcome of work aimed at interpretation of nature and culture heritage in the project. This book is dedicated to the ornithologist Hans Schaanning, the pioneer of bird study in the border area, who put the foundation for trilateral cooperation for the environment protection on the border between Russia, Norway, and Finland The collection presents the book by the Norwegian ornithologist and natural scientist Hans T. L. Schaanning Bird fauna of East Finnmark. Ornithological reports about the Varangerfjord and, particularly, the fauna of South Varanger in , who studied bird fauna in the border area between Norway and Russia. For the first time, the publication is made in abridged Russian translation and English paraphrase. Also, H. Schaanning s biography is presented as well as his great-grandson reminiscences; an attempt is made to analyze the bird fauna changes since the beginning of the XX century until the present days, based on the regular research carried out in the Pasvik Reserve, and to assess the impact of Hans Schaanning s personality and work on the development of amateur ornithology and nature-based tourism in the Trilateral Cross-border Park Pasvik-Inari. The book is addressed to ornithologists, biologists, regional ethnographers, historians, and a wide range of nature lovers.

13 Both the Reserve specialists and invited experts took part in preparation of the book. Hans Schaanning s descendents did not object to the publication. His great grandson Rolf Schaanning-Kollstrøm agreed to participate personally, and prepared a small reminiscence story about his famous relative providing several photos from the family archive. Our Norwegian colleagues and friends from the Finnmark Governor Office, Vrdo Museum,Bioforsk Svanhovd Environment research center assisted in addressing many problematic issues. This book is good result of Trilateral International cooperation. This cooperation must go on in the framework of ABCG Heritage project and also with new future projects.
