2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment
IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Lake Baikal - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Lake Baikal 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: Russian Federation Inscribed in: 1996 Criteria: (vii) (viii) (ix) (x) Situated in south-east Siberia, the 3.15-million-ha Lake Baikal is the oldest (25 million years) and deepest (1,700 m) lake in the world. It contains 20% of the world's total unfrozen freshwater reserve. Known as the 'Galapagos of Russia', its age and isolation have produced one of the world's richest and most unusual freshwater faunas, which is of exceptional value to evolutionary science. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 07 Dec 2020 SIGNIFICANT CONCERN The conservation outlook of Lake Baikal is of concern because of ongoing pollution, as well as new emerging threats, such as large-scale tourism development, poor sewage treatment causing nearshore eutrophication, and climate change. The potential of hydroelectric developments on the Selenga and Orkhon Rivers in Mongolia, as well as the current temporary Regulation allowing a marked increase in range of lake water level fluctuations regulated by the Irkutsk Dam in Russia, are also of high concern. The decision to close the Baikalsk Paper and Pulp Mill has been a positive step, but its implementation and mitigation of past negative impacts will require time and significant efforts. Lack of progress in this regard to date is of concern. At the same time, the overall protection and management regime of the World Heritage site remains insufficient due to an inadequate legal framework and a fragmented and overcomplicated institutional setup. -
Waterbirds of Lake Baikal, Eastern Siberia, Russia
FORKTAIL 25 (2009): 13–70 Waterbirds of Lake Baikal, eastern Siberia, Russia JIŘÍ MLÍKOVSKÝ Lake Baikal lies in eastern Siberia, Russia. Due to its huge size, its waterbird fauna is still insufficiently known in spite of a long history of relevant research and the efforts of local and visiting ornithologists and birdwatchers. Overall, 137 waterbird species have been recorded at Lake Baikal since 1800, with records of five further species considered not acceptable, and one species recorded only prior to 1800. Only 50 species currently breed at Lake Baikal, while another 11 species bred there in the past or were recorded as occasional breeders. Only three species of conservation importance (all Near Threatened) currently breed or regularly migrate at Lake Baikal: Asian Dowitcher Limnodromus semipalmatus, Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa and Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata. INTRODUCTION In the course of past centuries water levels in LB fluctuated considerably (Galaziy 1967, 1972), but the Lake Baikal (hereafter ‘LB’) is the largest lake in Siberia effects on the local avifauna have not been documented. and one of the largest in the world.

308 RAPPORT 1. Sur l'état du lac Baïkal selon les indicateurs observés en 2019. Niveau du lac . En 2019, en règle générale, des conditions favorables se sont développées pour permettre un afflux utile vers le lac Baïkal, de sorte que le remplissage du lac était élevé et suffisant pour assurer l'approvisionnement en eau domestique. Les valeurs limites de niveau définies par le Décret du Gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie daté du 27.12.2017 n° 1667 « Sur les valeurs maximales et minimales du niveau d'eau dans le lac Baïkal en 2018- 2020 » n'ont pas été atteintes. Au 1er janvier 2019, le niveau moyen d'eau du lac Baïkal était à 456,64 m OP, ce qui est de 0,66 m de plus qu'en 2018 à cette date (01.01.2018 - 455,98 m OP) et 0,21 m au-dessus de la valeur moyenne à long terme du niveau (456,43 m OP). Le destockage du lac Baïkal s'est terminé le 08 mai 2019 à 456,23 m OP. Le débâcle de Baïkal de son couvert de glace s'est produite plus tôt que la norme de 2 à 4 jours. Le dégagement de la glace des parties sud et centrale du lac a eu lieu plus tôt que la période moyenne à long terme de 3 à 8 jours et plus tard que la norme de 2 à 3 jours pour la partie nord, et il en est résulté que l'augmentation de l'afflux vers le lac s'est produite en avance. -
Flower Travel Itinerary 14
Itinerary & Inclusions 16 days Vladivostok to Moscow *Inclusive* Destination Vladivostok to Moscow (Year-Round) Travel Dates 16 Days - Starts Wed, Fri, Sun from Vladivostok Page 1 of 9 Day 1 Vladivostok Vladivostok (“Ruler-Of-The-East”) was historically Russia’s principle Pacific-Coast port. Before the days of the Trans-Sib, there was almost no communication between the European and Asian ends of Russia, and the only transportation was by ship through the Arctic in summer. Vladivostok is a small but charming city with a slightly non-Russian atmosphere – the “sea-side” location, pleasant climate, and proximity to Japan and Korea lend it a cheerfully cosmopolitan character. It is, however, a small town, and sightseeing is fairly limited. Nightlife and eating-out is not, though – the city prefers its pleasures in large portions! Airport to Hotel Arrive Vladivostok On arrival at Vladivostok Airport a local representative will be waiting for you on the platform. Private car transfer to your accommodation. Primorye Hotel 1 x Standard Room with breakfast, includes late check out Check In: Day 1 Check Out: Day 2 Day 2 Vladivostok City Tour Walking - 3 hours Start: 10:00am You will be met in the hotel reception by your English speaking guide. Enjoy a 3 hour guided city tour. Highlights include Vladivostok Railway Station, Central Square, Svetlanskaya Street, Eagles Nest Mount lookout and entrance to the c-56 Submarine Museum. Please make your own way to Vladivostok Station for your departure train. Walking directions enclosed.

Trans Manchurian Railway Journey Tour
Amazing Journeys - RUSSIA, CHINA 18 the Trans Manchurian Railway Journey For those who travel for the pleasure of the journey, those who believe that getting there is as much fun as being there, Russia's Trans-Machurian Railway has long been an almost mythic experience. A great part of the pleasure of such a trip is simply sitting back and watching the world go by. However, most travellers on the Trans-Siberian find that interaction with other passengers, both Russians and tourists, is what makes the trip an unforgettable experience. The fabled Trans-Siberia rail journey itself takes seven nights and ends eight time zones away from its beginning. To bring real perspective, consider that this is the longest continuous rail line on earth, each run clattering along in an epic journey of almost 10,000 kilometers…stretching across more than one third of the globe. This journey is a unique opportunity to travel to a place far from your daily world. You will learn a lot about the Russian soul, Manchurian history and Chinese culture. 19 Amazing Journeys - RUSSIA, CHINA 14 Days 13 Nights Vladimir Kirov Perm Tumen 2 Nizhny Moscow Novgorod Yekaterinaburg Novosibirsk Irkutsk Omsk Taishet Ulan-Ude Lisvyanka Chita Zbaikalsk Manchuria Harbin Beijing 2 Shen Yang Day 01 Arrive Moscow Kirov, (located on the Vyatka River .

Abstract: The problems of preserving the natural environment are relevant for unique natural complexes of territories, such as the Baikal region (Russia). There are few studies devoted to forecasting the green economic development of the eco-socio-economic system of the Baikal region. The previous studies are mainly dedicated to the theory of forming the green economy in the Baikal region. This study aimed to forecast and determine future trends in the Baikal region’s eco-socio-economic development based on the green economy. The methodological approach to assess the Baikal region development prospects is based on determining the factors affecting the relationship between various eco-socio-economic components using multiple regression models. We constructed the forecast using the artificial neural networks method, and we assessed the possible impact of anthropogenic factors on the Baikal region’s eco-socio-economic system in the future. -
