         <description><![CDATA[<div>adubynin@yandex.ru<br>https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Alexander-Dubynin<br>I am a researcher at the Central Siberian Botanical Garden. I am engaged in the conservation of Siberian orchids, and in general environmental biology. I am teaching a master's course at Novosibirsk State University, and I also work with the regional government as an expert. In 2021, my colleagues described a new IPA Orchid Zapovednik (see the link https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350707149_An_orchid_Orchidaceae-rich_area_recommended_for_preservation_in_Novosibirsk_Region_Russia). In 2007-2010, my colleagues implemented a large-scale project to allocate 92 IPAs in the Altai-Sayan Ecoregion (see the English summary of the final book https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RjCZpr5lfeTRnIZBBPyvzvw9dzactAZ-/view?usp=sharing), but the territories were not included in the general register. I want to continue their work and initiate a project, IPAs of the Novosibirsk region.<br><br></div>]]></description>
