Global changes in nature and the environment in general are visible to everyone today. The world is worried and has long been trying to recognize the course of further cataclysms and take measures to stabilize the situation. In 2007, the professional holiday of ecologists was approved in Russia.

This is not just a holiday for professionals. Its essence is to concern everyone with threatening problems, to force people not only to think about protecting nature, but to teach them, to force society to fight for the cleanliness of the planet, to mobilize them for a good cause government agencies And public organizations.

Development of production, large-scale construction, significant population of megacities negatively affect environmental situation. In addition, over recent years, humans have had an increasingly harmful impact on the environment, and without careful attitude the further prosperous and healthy existence of humanity as a whole is impossible.

Mechanism legal protection environment includes a set of measures aimed at preserving biological diversity animal objects and flora, respect for the rights of citizens to a favorable environment. At the same time, a very effective measure of influence is criminal liability for environmental crimes.

Environmental crimes, criminal cases of which are under investigation by investigators of the Investigative Committee of Russia, include socially dangerous acts provided for in Articles 246-249, 255, parts 2 and 3 of Articles 250, 251, 252, 254, 258.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as those committed officials law enforcement agencies, persons in respect of whom a special procedure for criminal proceedings is applied.

Thus, in 2016, a criminal case was initiated against the executive director of Razrez Arshanovsky LLC for committing an environmental crime under Part 2 of Art. 247 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (other treatment (cleaning, collecting, throwing away) chemicals and waste in violation of established rules, resulting in environmental pollution). According to the investigation, the enterprise, when carrying out open-pit coal mining activities, is obliged to ensure compliance with established environmental protection requirements; take the necessary measures to avoid pollution caused by the activities of the mining enterprise, as well as monitor the state of the environment, including water bodies and soils within the licensed area during the entire period of its development. In violation of environmental protection legislation, in May 2016, the executive director of Razrez Arshanovsky LLC, who actually manages the activities of the company, in charge of operational management issues production process, instructed workers to use special equipment to dismantle the filter array of the separation dam of the treatment facility. As a result of the violation of the integrity of the dam, there was an overflow of liquid waste, which led to soil contamination in the used areas. land plots. The criminal investigation continues.

Moreover, in 2016 investigative department The Investigative Committee for the Republic of Khakassia has completed a criminal investigation into the 55-year-old director of the limited liability company Razrez Mayrykhsky Coal Company Viktor Kozmin. He is accused of committing a crime under Art. 255 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (violation of the rules for the protection and use of subsoil during the commissioning and operation of mining enterprises, resulting in significant damage). According to the investigation, from December 2015 to April 2016, an enterprise engaged in coal mining in the Altai region of the Republic of Khakassia operated under the leadership of Kozmin in the presence of a negative conclusion from the state examination, including on environmental issues. The negative conclusion of the examination was due to the negative consequences of the gradual drainage of the surrounding area adjacent to the open-pit mining site, including the drainage of lakes Turpanye and Kosharnoye, which are nesting grounds for birds listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation.

The damage caused by unauthorized mining and use of subsoil amounted to more than 154 million rubles. The investigation has collected a sufficient evidence base, and therefore the criminal case with an approved indictment has been sent to the court for consideration on the merits.

In 2017, the investigative department of the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for the Republic of Khakassia completed a criminal investigation against the 56-year-old director of the Aurora limited liability company, Alexey Bognibov, who is accused of committing crimes under Art. 255 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (violation of the rules for the protection and use of subsoil during the commissioning and operation of mining enterprises, resulting in significant damage), as well as Part 2 of Art. 247 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (other handling of chemicals in violation of established rules, resulting in environmental pollution).

According to the investigation, from May 1 to September 15, 2015, Bognibov, being the director of an enterprise engaged in the extraction of ores and sands of precious metals in the valley of the Karolinovka River, Ust-Abakansky District of the Republic of Khakassia, which is the left tributary of the Terensug River, which flows into the Tom River, without having a technical project that has passed state examination, including on environmental issues, by giving instructions to his subordinate employees, carried out, using industrial mining machinery and equipment, unauthorized extraction of minerals - precious metals: placer gold and silver, having extracted them from the subsoil by open-pit mining in an amount of more than 48 kg of gold and more than 2 kg of silver.

The damage caused to the environment amounted to more than 1.2 million rubles. The investigation collected a sufficient evidence base, and therefore the criminal case with an approved indictment was also sent to court for consideration on the merits.

The state of environmental problems and their scale mark the emergence of situations that did not exist just a few years ago. Scientific and technological progress and modern technologies The development of production gives humanity the opportunity to transform the environment at its own discretion. However, these achievements of civilization are often used to the detriment of nature. As a rule, economic interests individuals and the desire to gain additional profit lead to the creation of a real danger of destruction of natural objects. Therefore, the problem of nature conservation has now become one of the global human problems on which the life and health of the current and future generations of people depend.

Ecologist's Day does not allow us to forget about threatening problems and makes us think about a radical revision of our attitude towards natural resources.

Well, tell me, which of us is indifferent to nature and animals? Of course, everyone loves nature, plants, and animals. There are so many beautiful places on the planet, looking at photographs of which or just with their own eyes, people are surprised at where all this beauty came from. But people do not think that thanks to scientific and technological progress, they receive comfort, but the environment suffers. Only with the help of the selfless work of ecologists has nature not yet perished for the sake of human convenience.

What date is celebrated?

The professional holiday Ecologist Day is celebrated on June 5, according to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated July 21, 2007 No. 933 “On Ecologist Day.” The holiday is official, but, unfortunately, has not acquired the status of a “day off”. Therefore, if June 5 falls on a working day, then the holiday is celebrated in a working environment.

Who's celebrating

The very word “ecology” came to us from Ancient Greece and translated means: “ekos” - dwelling, house; “logos” is a science, a concept. Means, in simple language ecology is the science of housing or home, and in the scientific world, ecology is the science of the interaction of living organisms and their communities both with each other and with the environment. And the people who study this science are ecologists. They are the ones who accept congratulations on Ecologist Day on this day.

A little about the profession

An ecologist is a specialist who monitors, analyzes and develops measures to reduce harmful impacts on the environment. Ecologists monitor the condition of rivers, seas, lakes and oceans, as well as forests, fields, lands, etc. They find out the reasons for the drying up of lakes or rivers, the disappearance of certain species of animals, and explain the reasons for climate change on our planet. Various measures are being developed to reduce the impact of industrial enterprises that are necessary for humanity, but harmful to the environment. And how many species of animals were saved due to the fact that environmentalists paid attention in time.

Today, environmentalists work in almost all industries. Not a single construction project, even at the design stage, is complete without environmental considerations. expert opinion. Of course, not everything is as rosy in ecology as we would like to believe, but over time and with the right environmental policies, people will begin to think about preserving nature more than they do now.

On at the moment the whole system measures, both public and state, are aimed at harmony in the relationship between society and nature, as well as at preserving nature and its resources for future generations. Today, environmental problems occupy one of the leading places and predetermine the stage of development of the whole world and Russia. Our country, with its vast territory, which contains various ecosystems, plays a huge role in the global fight against environmental problems and in maintaining balance in the world ecosystem.
