Representatives of the international ecological coalition of the Rivers without Borders sent a statement to the UNESCO World Heritage Center on the actions of the governments of Russia and Mongolia with regard to Lake Baikal, Siberia. Realities. Ecologists are convinced that the parties do not fulfill their obligations, therefore the condition of the unique lake may worsen. The main thing that worries civil activists is plans to build a hydroelectric power station in Mongolia. The coalition also states that the Russian side does not comply with all requirements for the protection of Lake Baikal. In particular, in December 2017, the government adopted a resolution that extended the range of regulation of Lake Baikal from 1 m to 2.3 m, and the document was adopted without a full assessment of the impact of the new regime on the lake.

And now the level of Lake Baikal is already a quarter of a meter below the mark that was previously considered permissible. In March 2018, another order came out, leading to a tenfold reduction in the Baikal water protection zone. Ecologists hope that at the next session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee the situation around Baikal will be the subject of serious discussion.
