The participants of the "Clean Country" forum, which is held in support of the national project "Ecology", discussed the role of ecotourism for the sustainable development of specially protected natural areas (PAs), as well as the key tasks facing the Government of Russia and business to preserve natural resources and the environment of the country.
Thus, Irina Makanova, Director of the Department of State Policy and Regulation of Protected Areas Development of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia, noted the need to expand the territories of protected areas for the development of ecotourism, while maintaining a balance between nature and man.
The meeting also discussed issues of investment attractiveness of protected areas and ways of regulating nature protection.
Separate blocks were devoted to protecting water resources and improving air quality.
Thus, during the session, the participants announced that it is planned to create a register of drinking water sources in Russia. This will allow not only to more effectively protect the sources, but also to plan the development of territories.
The experts also noted the need to monitor emissions of hazardous gases into the air. By 2024, the government intends to reduce by 20% the amount of harmful emissions in 12 cities with the most difficult environmental situation.
