Environmental protection in our region is the most important set of measures in the prevailing complex environmental situation, which is observed in many regions of the country. Such activities are not only in Russia. There are a huge number of international organizations that monitor the state of the environment throughout the Earth.
Nature Conservation Organizations in Russia
Environmental protection is what everyone should do. Often, due to an irresponsible and negligent attitude towards the world around them, man-made disasters and massive pollution occur. Nature must be protected both privately and globally. It all starts small. Everyone should control themselves and their loved ones, not litter, carefully treat nature, etc.
Environmental protection in our region is regulated by the actions of many organizations that specialize in this. The main ones are listed below:
- VOOP - All-Russian Society for the Protection of Nature.
- Ecological movement "Greens".
- RREC - Russian Regional Environmental Center.
- Green Cross, etc.
VOOP was founded in 1924, it operates today. The main goal of society is to preserve the environment. Participants carry out a set of measures to maintain the diversity of fauna and flora. The company is engaged in public education, the introduction of environmental education to the masses. Participants advise subjects of environmental management, engage in environmental activities and much more.
The environmental movement in Russia is a relatively new phenomenon. In 1994, the Green Society was founded, which appeared on the basis of the Cedar organization. Until 2009, the so-called environmental political party operated, but later its activities were discontinued. The Green movement considers its goal to change the attitude of the state and population to the world around them. Participants believe that only organized political measures can achieve the result.
RREC appeared only in 2000. The center was approved by the Academy of Public Administration and the European Commission under the President of the Russian Federation. The purpose of creating the RREC was to establish links with similar centers in other countries. This is necessary to promote advanced ideas to ensure well-being. Thanks to dialogues between environmental organizations, it is possible to stabilize the state of Russia, to introduce and promote standards and methods for environmental protection.
The Green Cross non-governmental organization also appeared not so long ago - in 1994. The goal of the participants is to educate the population of the ability to live in good proximity to nature.
International Conservation Organizations
There are a lot of such communities around the world. The most famous are:
- "Greenpeace".
- Wildlife fund.
- International Green Cross.
- International Union for Conservation of Nature, etc.
Nature Conservation Activities
The Law on Nature Protection says that everyone should preserve, rationally use and, if possible, restore natural resources.
It is necessary to maintain the purity of waters, forests, the atmosphere, take care of the surrounding world - representatives of flora and fauna, etc. There are certain measures to protect nature:
- Economic.
- Natural sciences.
- Technical and production.
- Administrative.
Government environmental programs play a huge role for the Earth as a whole. In some regions, excellent results were achieved. But you need to understand that everything takes more than one year. A vivid example is the conservation program for water treatment in the Great Lakes. A few years later, her happy outcome is evident. However, this set of measures was very expensive.
Similar measures are being taken at the regional level. In 1868, in Lviv, it was decided to protect the marmots and chamois living freely in the Tatras. Thanks to the assembled Sejm and the decisions taken, they began to protect the animals and saved them from extinction.
In connection with the current environmental situation, it was necessary to take a set of measures that limited the use of natural resources in industry, etc. It was forbidden to use pesticides. The measures also included measures for:
- land restoration;
- the creation of reserves;
- environmental cleanup;
- streamlining the use of chemicals, etc.
"Greenpeace"
Environmental protection in our region is largely based on the principles of work of international organizations, although it is regional in nature. Greenpeace is the most famous community with offices in 47 countries. The main office is in Amsterdam. The current director is Kumi Naidu. The organization has a staff of 2, 500. But there are volunteers at Greenpeace, there are about 12, 000 of them. Participants advocate an environmentally friendly lifestyle, urge people to protect and protect the environment. Problems that Greenpeace seeks to solve:
- conservation of the Arctic;
- climate change; combating warming;
- whaling;
- radiation and others
International Union for Conservation of Nature
International conservation organizations appeared at different times. In 1948, the World Union was established. This is an international non-profit organization whose main goal is to preserve the diversity of representatives of the animal and plant world. More than 82 countries have joined the union. More than 111 government and 800 non-governmental institutions have been opened. The organization employs more than 10, 000 scientists from around the world. Members of the union believe that the integrity and diversity of the natural world must be maintained. Resources should be used evenly. The organization includes 6 scientific commissions.
