Russia and China took a step forward in their negotiations to build a
pipeline that would carry natural gas from Russia to China, transecting the
sacred Ukok Plateau. This week the two countries' companies agreed on a
formula to calculate the price of the natural gas, according to an
announcement by Gazprom Deputy CEO Alexander Medvedev. See the complete
report here.

pipeline route through the UNESCO World Heritage Site and the sacred lands
