Association to Save Yugra

The Association to Save Yugra (or Save Yugra, Russian: Спасение Югры, Spaseniye Yugry) is an Indigenous-rights organisation of the nomadic Khanty, Mansi and Nenets peoples of Western Siberia.^[1] The organisation was founded in 1989 to protect their traditional lands against extractive industries such as oil, gas, and logging.^[2] The organisation held its first congress in August 1989, and took a stance opposing logging in their forests.^[3]

The organisation is named for Yugra, the traditional homeland of the Uralic peoples, in what is now Northern Russia.
