Well, tell me, which of us is indifferent to nature and animals? Of course, everyone loves nature, plants, and animals. How many are there on the planet? the most beautiful places, 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 dedicated 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 word “ecology” itself came to us from Ancient Greece and translated means: “ekos” - dwelling, house; “logos” - science, concept. Means, in simple language ecology is the science of housing or home, and in 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 effects 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. Developing various measures to reduce the impact necessary for humanity, but harmful to the environment industrial enterprises. 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 can be completed at the design stage without an environmental expert opinion. Of course, not everything is as rosy in the environment as we would like to believe, but over time and with the right environmental policy people will start thinking about nature conservation more than they do now.
On this 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 worldwide struggle with environmental problems and in maintaining balance in the global ecosystem.
Background of the holiday
This holiday is young, and in 2014 it turned 7 years old. Ecologist Day appeared in 2007 thanks to the Decree signed by the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin. Also in Russia, Ecologist Day coincides with World Environment Day.
June 5th is Ecologist Day or World Environment Day, as well as 2017 in Russian Federation declared the Year of Ecology
On January 5, 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree according to which 2017 was declared the year of ecology in Russia.
The purpose of this decision is to draw attention to problematic issues existing in the environmental sphere, and improving the condition environmental safety countries.
World Environment Day, or Ecologist's Day, is celebrated in almost all European countries. This holiday was established on December 15, 1972 at the initiative of the UN General Assembly to “draw public attention to the need to preserve and improve the environment.”
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 professional holiday 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, during recent years humans are having 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, criminal liability for environmental crimes is a very effective measure of influence.
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, persons in respect of whom a special procedure for criminal proceedings is applied.
In particular, criminal liability is provided for acts related to violation of environmental protection rules during the production of work, treatment of environmental hazardous substances and waste, water and air pollution, land damage, use biological resources, illegal extraction and trafficking of especially valuable wild animals and aquatic biological resources listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation.
In 2016-2017 investigative authorities Investigative Committee In Russia, a number of criminal cases involving environmental crimes have been initiated and investigated in the Republic of Khakassia.
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) chemical substances and waste in violation established rules resulting in environmental pollution). According to investigators, the company, carrying out coal mining activities open method, is obliged to ensure compliance established requirements on environmental protection; accept 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 laws, in May 2016 Executive Director Razrez Arshanovsky LLC, which actually manages the company’s activities, in charge of operational management issues production process, instructed the workers to use special equipment to disassemble the filter array of the separation dam of the treatment facilities. 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.

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 negative consequences from 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, Alexei 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 in the Ust-Abakan region 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 the state examination, including on environmental issues, by giving instructions to his subordinate employees, he carried out, using industrial mining machinery and equipment, the unauthorized extraction of minerals - precious metals: placer gold and silver, having extracted them from the depths of the open pit in the amount of more than 48 kg of gold and more than 2 kg of silver. The damage caused by illegal mining amounted to more than 105 million rubles. In addition, when carrying out unauthorized mining of precious metals, Bognibov, by giving instructions to his subordinate employees, without having the appropriate permission provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of water use, illegally discharged untreated quarry Wastewater from settling ponds into the Karolinovka River, the content of chemicals and compounds hazardous to human health exceeded the permissible exposure standards, which led to environmental pollution. 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, the economic interests of individuals and the desire to gain additional profit lead to the creation real danger 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 let us forget about threatening problems, makes us think about a radical reconsideration of our relationship to natural resources.
June 5 is World Environment Day. It was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972. The choice of date was justified by the fact that on this day the UN Conference on the Problems of surrounding a person Wednesday (Stockholm, 1972).
The conference adopted a declaration containing 26 principles that should guide all states in their activities aimed at protecting the environment and rational use natural resources. It declared for the first time that the protection and improvement of the environment for current and future generations is the primary task of humanity.
World Environment Day is one of the main ways for the UN to attract the attention of the world community to environmental problems, as well as stimulate political interest and corresponding actions.
Environmental protection natural environment is a system of state and public measures (technological, economic, administrative, legal, educational, international) aimed at the harmonious interaction of society and nature, the preservation and reproduction of existing ecological communities and natural resources for the sake of living and future generations. Today, environmental problems are among the most important and determine the level of well-being of the entire world civilization and, in particular, our country. Russia plays a key role in maintaining global functions biosphere, since its vast territories occupied by various natural ecosystems represent a significant part of the Earth's biological diversity.
The theme of World Environment Day is determined annually. In 2012, the day was dedicated to the green economy, and Brazil became the host country. In 2013, World Environment Day is dedicated to the issue of sustainable food consumption and reducing wasted food.
Every year, about 30% of the world's food is lost or wasted. In monetary terms, this volume is equal to a trillion dollars.
Food waste is a major problem for developed countries, which is most often driven by retail chains and consumers who throw food that is still fit for food into the trash.
At the same time, one in seven people in the world goes to bed hungry and more than 20 thousand children under the age of 5 die from hunger every day. Food waste also a huge depletion of natural resources and a contribution to negative environmental impacts.
Mongolia was chosen to host World Environment Day 2013. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) said Mongolia was given the honor due to its efforts to promote a green economy, including environmental technologies in the mining sector. The country's government has introduced a moratorium on the development of new coal deposits, and also announced plans to switch to energy from renewable sources. In addition, Mongolia’s achievements in environmental education of youth were noted.
On World Environment Day, many countries around the world host environmental events and campaigns aimed at protecting the environment and ecology.
On June 5, domestic ecologists also celebrate their professional holiday. The corresponding decree was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 21, 2007. The first Ecologist Day was held in 2008.
The appearance of this holiday in Russia emphasizes the importance professional activity state environmental institutions at all levels, non-governmental environmental organizations and everyone who contributes to the conservation of nature and the environment.
Environmental protection issues are among the priority issues of political, economic and public life countries, being one of the tasks national security. The right of citizens of the Russian Federation to a favorable environment is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
In Russia, according to estimates for 2012, there are about 12 thousand specially protected natural areas(SPNA) of various levels and categories. The basis of the federal system of protected areas consists of 102 reserves, 43 national parks and 70 federal reserves. According to the Concept for the Development of the Protected Natural Areas System, which was approved in 2011, in the next eight years it is planned to create 11 more reserves, 20 national parks and one federal reserve.
As part of World Environment Day and Ecologist Day in nature reserves and national parks Actions are organized annually to attract public attention to environmental problems. Excursions, clean-up events, environmental education programs and open days are held in specially protected areas.

Ecologist Day in Russia is celebrated at the very beginning of summer - June 5
This date did not arise by chance, because Russian holiday dedicated to World Day environmental protection. In 1972, during the Stockholm Conference, it was decided to establish this holiday, the purpose of which is to awaken people's desire to take care of the environment.
A prerequisite for the emergence memorable date was an appeal to the UN by scientists from 23 countries. In their letter they reported an impending planetary threat caused by consumer attitude to nature and its resources. Since then, Environment Day has been celebrated annually on June 5th. Every year, a “capital” city and a holiday motto are chosen; traditionally, on this day, environmental actions and events.
Ecologist Day in Russia cannot yet boast of a long history and traditions. This holiday was first celebrated in 2007. The corresponding Presidential Decree laid the foundation for this and set the date - June 5. The day is not a national day off, but remember your responsibility to support your common Home cleanliness and order are possible even on weekdays.
What does the house have to do with it? The word “ecology” came to us from Greece. “Logos” is, as you know, science, and “eco” is just a dwelling, a house. So it’s not surprising: ecology is the science of our big and beautiful home called the Earth. But in more serious terms, it is the science of the interaction of living organisms with each other and with the environment.
They say that ecologist is the profession of the future. Many universities train specialists in this field, but their graduates are not always able to find work in their specialty. But the world is changing rapidly, and this profession - noble and romantic in its essence - is becoming more and more relevant.
After all, as ecologists themselves say, what we have done to the planet is incomprehensible to the mind, it’s surprising that the grass is still green. Someone should help her, right? This task falls on the shoulders of environmentalists.
What does a future ecologist need to know? Physics, chemistry, soil science and, of course, biology. What qualities does this professional need? Curiosity and quick reaction are a response to rapidly changing laws. By the way, legislation and even environmental audit are also within the competence of these specialists. And there is no place in this matter for conservatives and lazy people.
When it comes to the profession of ecologist, the verdict of the average person is usually something like this: “Oh! Cool! Global warming, volcanoes - there is room to turn around!” In fact, a young environmentalist at work will face a lot of routine paperwork. The enterprise does not always know and imagine what this specialist should do and how.
Often a young ecologist needs to solve a difficult moral task: protect nature from pollution or the enterprise itself from regulatory authorities. And the realization that it will most likely not be possible to significantly influence the work of the entrusted organization cools the ardor and removes the touch of romanticism from newcomers.
But still, ecology is, ideally, the work of real enthusiasts, on whom, as usual, the whole world rests. A noble and honest cause that deserves its day on the calendar. And the day of the ecologist is a holiday of true heirs who reverently love their big house, trying not to inherit, but to preserve and increase its wealth.
Ecologist's Day is a relatively young holiday, which began to be celebrated in Russia quite recently. Ecologist Day was officially introduced by presidential order in 2007. In general, ecology and environmental protection are concepts that appeared in our everyday life not very long ago, although the best minds of humanity have been preoccupied with these issues for many years.
The term “ecology” was first used by the German biologist Haeckel about 150 years ago, defining ecology as a branch of biology. Subsequently, ecology was given the status of a science that determines the relationships between living organisms and plant components in an environment modified by man (or left unchanged by him). The concepts of “ecology” and “health” are inextricably linked. After all, polluted by emissions atmospheric air or groundwater often cause various diseases.
This is what science is all about. But in everyday life this concept often used in phrases of this kind: “the environment is to blame”, or “bad ecology”. Here ecology is defined as a set of living conditions, and this environment does not change in better side, thereby attracting the attention of the public, which shows its civic activity by holding various rallies and pickets. These actions are aimed at protecting your health and preserving a livable environment. Therefore, the profession of an ecologist is becoming increasingly popular.
The work of an ecologist is not an easy one, because not all citizens understand that the future of our planet depends on every inhabitant. Every person can contribute to improving living conditions. Today, a specialist such as an ecologist is needed in every enterprise and most organizations. The purpose of this position is to monitor compliance with environmental legislation in the divisions of the enterprise and contact with regulatory authorities (state). In addition, many environmental volunteers participate in various activities (such as cleaning sea water and saving animals from spilled oil or environmental education of residents).
Today, entire departments and ministries are working for the benefit of environmental protection. These are, in particular, the Ministry of Natural Resources, Rosprirodnadzor, the Environmental Prosecutor's Office, the Committee and the Department of Natural Resources. In addition, some enterprises specialize in preserving normal ecology: they create equipment used to protect the natural environment, develop various projects that can minimize negative impact on nature.
Ecologist Day is celebrated on June 5th. It was on this day that the UN held its first conference on issues. It was in 1972, and from the following year this date became the Establishment of this holiday - a way to attract people's attention to environmental issues and problems. This holiday is accompanied by various “green” actions and pickets, and competitions in schools. children's drawing on the topic of protecting nature.
But Ecologist Day is not only a professional holiday, it is a holiday of all people who care about their future and the future of their descendants. On this day I would like to wish everyone fresh air, clear water and clean land. In addition, it is simply necessary to urge the population to pay even more attention to the issues of preserving a favorable natural environment, protecting all living things and our ecological future!
