Organization logo
On our logo, the white sun represents the great creator of all life, Aar Aiyy Toyon [ Аар Айыы Тойон] (from the Yakut language) and Naran [Наран] (from the Buryat-Mongolian language) – without the sun there is no life!
The tree, created with the colors of the flags of different peoples, represents the World Tree, uniting three worlds: the upper world, where the branches are – there are bright deities, higher aspirations, the universe. The tree's trunk is in the middle world, where people, animals, spirits, and the energy of nature dwell. And the roots descend deep into the earth – strength and power, but also darkness, as necessary for the balance of life.
