  1. Monitoring of oil and gas projectsin Primorye Our campaign was successful Our joint efforts resulted in moving the pipeline farther north from Baikal UNESCO World Heritage Site, re-routing of the Siberia-Pacific Oil Pipeline and choosing alternative terminal location in Kozmino bay. Nevertheless, in 2006-2009 Phoenix continued tracking down all information related to this issue and distributed it among all concerned people/organizations. • Scientific assessments of the project’s social, economic and environmental impact and publication of the results in reports in Russian, English, Japanese and Korean Phoenix Fund has been campaigning against the route of the Siberia-Pacific Oil Pipeline since the Russian Prime Minister Fradkov officially announced the pipeline project on 31 December 2004 • An international media campaign aimed at coverage in newspapers and on television • Several NGO petitions to president Putin and other decision-makers • Advise to public and commercial banks not to provide funding for the pipeline project, unless the pipeline route was changed in order to diminish the environmental impact. • Website alerts requesting readers to send letters to Putin and other decision-makers Together with Russian and western partners we carried out a large number of campaign activities including: • Protest demonstrations • Lawsuits addressing violations of Russian laws during the project’s planning process
