Welcome to the podcast about Lake Baikal. Baikal is a lake of breathtaking beauty, a Siberian pearl, and the largest body of freshwater on Earth. About 20% of all freshwater is concentrated in it. In this issue, we will discuss lake problems such as pollution, habitat destruction, and conflicting views on the development of the region. The future of Lake Baikal lies in the struggle to preserve the purity of the water and the unique biodiversity of the lake. The State Duma, which is promoting a clear-cutting project, is it really doing this for the purpose of developing the region, or will it be beneficial to someone? One of the State Duma members spoke on this matter as follows. The bill comes into direct conflict with the principles of protection of the Baikal Natural Territory. The bill contains a number of serious risks for environmental safety and the preservation of the unique ecosystem of Lake Baikal. In particular, it is aimed at a significant increase in clear-cutting of forests, as well as the transfer of forest-fund lands and land categories in the central ecological zone of Lake Baikal. We will consider these and other points in more detail in this issue aimed at increasing people's awareness of the environmental events of the planet.
