Greenpeace: The decision of the Russian government threatens Baikal
Archive photo Greenpeace of Russia urged to vote against permission to change the level of Baikal to two meters. The Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation wants to extend this norm for the Irkutsk hydroelectric power station, introduced in 2016. Previously, it was one meter. Now the Ministry of Natural Resources has prepared a decree on which the Irkutsk hydroelectric power station will be able to change the level of Baikal two meters at its discretion for three more years.
