The protection of natural communities is an essential component in human interaction with wildlife. In Russia, for example, this issue is given important state significance. What are people doing to protect rivers, lakes, fields, forests and animals around the world? Take appropriate measures, including at the state level.
Nature conservation law
The law on the protection of nature (the protection and protection of rivers, farmland, etc.) and the use of wildlife was adopted in the Soviet Union in 1980. According to him, the whole flora and fauna of Russia, Ukraine, Georgia and the other former Union republics is considered the property of the state and the public domain. This regulation requires a humane attitude to flora and fauna.
The corresponding decree on the protection of nature obliges all people living in the territory of the law to strictly observe all available requirements and rules in their official and personal lives, and try to protect the wealth of their native land. Special attention should be paid to the protection of natural sites such as rivers. The fact is that at present, water bodies around the world are heavily polluted by one or another human activity. For example, sewage, oil and other chemical waste are discharged into them.
What do people do to protect rivers?
Fortunately, humanity has realized how much damage it does to the environment. Currently, people around the world have begun implementing a plan to protect water bodies, in particular rivers. It consists of several stages.
- The first step is to create different treatment facilities. The use of low-sulfur fuel is carried out, garbage and other waste are completely destroyed or efficiently processed. People build chimneys with a height of 300 meters or more. Land reclamation is taking place. Unfortunately, so far even the most modern and powerful treatment facilities cannot provide complete protection of water bodies. For example, chimneys, designed to reduce the concentration of harmful substances in certain rivers, spread dust pollution and acid rain over long distances.
- What do people do to protect the rivers yet? The second stage is based on the development and application of fundamentally new environmental production technologies. The transition to low-waste or completely waste-free processes. For example, many already know the so-called direct-flow water supply: river - enterprise - river. In the near future, humanity wants to replace it with recycled water supply, or even with “dry” technology. At first, this will allow for a partial and then complete cessation of wastewater discharges into rivers and other bodies of water. It is worth noting that this stage can be called the main, because with it people will not only reduce environmental pollution, but also prevent it. Unfortunately, this requires large material costs, excessive for many countries of the globe.
- The third stage is a well thought out and most rational placement of "dirty" industries that adversely affect the environment. These are enterprises, for example, the petrochemical, pulp and paper and metallurgical industries, as well as the manufacture of various building materials and thermal energy.
How else can you solve the problem of river pollution?
If we talk in detail about what people do to protect rivers from pollution, it is impossible not to mention another way to solve this problem. It consists in the reuse of raw materials. For example, in developed countries, its reserves are estimated at a fabulous amount. The central procurers of recyclables are the old industrial regions of Europe, the United States of America, Japan and, of course, the European part of our country.
