Russia Environment Baikal Lake Protection Law

A view shows waste storage areas of the closed Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill in Irkutsk region, Russia. On July, 2023, Russian lawmakers in the country's lower house of parliament, the State Duma, have passed in the first reading a bill authorizing large-scale logging around Lake Baikal for a period of ten years what caused a public outcry. The permission was necessary for the expansion of the Baikal-Amur and Trans-Siberian railroads. The proposed law provides a mechanism for forests situated on protected lands to be reclassified into other land categories, allowing for deforestation and also specifies that clearcutting will be permitted in areas where forests have been lost due to fire and on certain plots within the so-called "forest fund".
