As part of the Clean Country federal project of the Ecology national project, work is underway to eliminate two unauthorized waste dumps in the cities of the Belgorod Region. This was reported by the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia on its website.
“The city dump in Belgorod has existed since 1977. Household garbage and construction waste were stored spontaneously, without compaction and isolation, as a result of which an increased content of organic substances and methane was recorded at the facility. By the end of 2024, all necessary activities will be completed here,” the message says. As a result, it is planned to eliminate about 1.2 million cubic meters of waste, restore 20.4 hectares of land affected by the negative effects of accumulated environmental damage, and improve the quality of life for 390,000 people.
The liquidation of the landfill is also taking place in the city of Grayvorone. The work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023.
Currently, the main technical stage of the elimination of landfills is underway at two sites.
“The next biological stage, which includes a set of agrotechnical and phytomeliorative measures aimed at restoring disturbed lands, is planned to begin in October 2023 in Grayvoron, in Belgorod - in April 2024,” the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia noted.
Participants discussed the boundary between nature and ecotourism, whether mass visits to unique areas can remain safe, the responsibilities of investors, and how to prepare tourists for visiting specially protected natural areas.
The head of state expressed confidence that the Forum will be held at a high level, and that its results will contribute to the development of tourism in Russia and the expansion of humanitarian and business ties.
