Abstract: the relevance of the article is
conditioned by the need to improve
management efficiency in the area of
environmental management and
conservancy in the conditions of a
federal state. The purpose of the article is
to analyze the current system of relations
in the regulation of the protection of
Baikal lake as a World Heritage object
and identification of the reasons behind
the impaired efficiency of state efforts to

and ensure sustainable development of
the adjacent territory. The analysis is
targeted at the allocation of authorities
by management levels from federal to
local. The study methodology rests on
the analysis of empiric materials and
structured-functional approach that
makes it possible to single out
discrepancies in the exercise of control
and executive functions at various levels
of environmental protection
management. The main discrepancy is

the predominance of prohibitive and
conservative approaches, which hampers
coordination of objectives of the
protection of the unique ecosystem and
sustainable development of coastal
territories. The federal focus of main
executive powers results in the ignorance
of interests of local communities and
passive participation of regional
authorities in the implementation of the
main tasks related to the recovery of
disturbed ecosystems. There are no
management bodies in charge of a
comprehensive approach to the territory
development and there are no established
horizontal ties between interested
regions. This brings about the expansion
of shadow economies related to the use
of natural resources. It is proposed to
enhance the regional level of decision-
making by establishing a system of
accommodation of interests of federal
subjects concerned and a higher focus on
the development of ecologically-

1. Introduction
In Russia, the year 2017 has been
announced the year of ecology, during
which the main focus has been on Baikal
lake and care for the preservation of the
unique ecosystems of the lake and Baikal
natural territory. The Baikal situation has
mirrored the entire state of the
environmental policy of the country, its
drawbacks and advantages.

and largest freshwater tank (some 80%)
[1]. In 1996, Baikal was included in the
UNESCO World Heritage List and in
1999, the national law on Baikal
protection was passed in the Russian
Federation. The law was intended to
protect the unique ecosystem against
destructive factors of human impact and
it determined the control and monitoring
system. Pursuant to this law, a special
zone was designated around the lake
Baikal natural territory (BNT), inside
which special requirements to economic
management apply.
By virtue of the same law, the
Baikal natural territory was divided into
three ecological zones of various
functional purposes. The central
ecological zone (CEZ) comprises the
basin of Baikal lake, water protection
zone of the coast and adjacent specially
protected natural territories. The primary
function of the zone is to preserve the
unique ecosystem of Baikal lake and
prevent adverse impact of economic and
other human activities on its condition.
The buffer zone covers the Baikal
drainage basin outside of the central
ecological zone.   
are determined by its boundaries
preservation of the aquatic habitat and
water balance of the lake. The third zone
the zone of atmospheric influence
occupies the remaining part of the Baikal
natural territory and deals with the task
of decrease in air pollution. Each of the
zones has its own set of regulations and
rules in line with the listed functions.
