Kamchatka is one of the poorly populated regions of Russia: the 2002 census showed a population of 380,200 of which 90% are Russians and the remainder are indigenous tribes made up of Chokchi, Koryak, Eskimos, Lukagirs, and Itelmen.
As David Koester, who has written about one of the indigenous peoples of Kamchatka, the Itelmen, has said: "Kamchatka, in the Russian Far East, is both blessed with large areas of relatively pristine wilderness and unindustrialized landscape and cursed by the political ambiguities and economic complexities of attempting to manage that territory".
