Abstract

The article discusses the issues of protection of Lake Baikal. Despite the fact that activities that have a negative impact on the unique ecological system of Lake Baikal are prohibited or restricted in this area, environmental problems are increasing every year. The author analyzes the legal foundations of strategic planning for the protection of Lake Baikal. The definition of strategic planning in relation to environmental protection of the Baikal natural territory is formulated. The features of the implementation of the federal project “Preservation of Lake Baikal” are analyzed. The conclusion is made about the need for more effective use of strategic planning as a measure of legal protection of Lake Baikal, as well as wider involvement of the public in the preparation and adjustment of strategic planning documents.
