Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting of the Government Commission on the protection of Lake Baikal
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting of the Government Commission on Lake Baikal Protection. The event was attended by the heads of three regions belonging to the Baikal Natural Territory, State Duma deputies, and representatives of relevant departments.
“This water body is a unique natural resource of our country and plays a major socio-economic role in the development of nearby regions. Therefore, of course, preserving Lake Baikal is an important state task that requires a comprehensive approach and close cooperation of all interested parties,” said Dmitry Patrushev.
In particular, it was noted that the reconstruction of the Bolsherechensky fish hatchery in Buryatia will almost double the artificial reproduction of the Baikal omul, one of the main symbols of the lake. Work on the facility should be completed by the end of this year.
The government commission meeting also discussed the issue of construction and modernization of treatment facilities in the Baikal natural territory. Within the framework of the national project “Ecology”, activities are being implemented in three regions – Zabaikalsky Krai, Irkutsk Region and the Republic of Buryatia – a total of six facilities.
In addition, the participants considered the issue of developing tourism infrastructure on Baikal. The Ministry of Economic Development has developed a corresponding draft “road map”, which provides for the creation of conditions for increasing visitor numbers to the Baikal natural territory. “It is important to understand how these activities are linked to the need to reduce the load on the lake’s ecosystem,” said Dmitry Patrushev.
The draft road map for the development of tourism infrastructure on Lake Baikal must be submitted to the Government for approval by December 20.
