General characteristics of the ecological situation in the Caspian regions of Russia and the role of law in its improvement

The article proves that in the three Caspian regions, the state of the environment has its own characteristics, which should be more clearly reflected by legal means. It is noted that the environmental management bodies of the three regions in their annual state reports focus on various environmental threats, describing in detail their problems and measures taken to solve them (combating the threats of man-made and natural accidents and catastrophes; issues of the development of a network of protected areas or the protection of wildlife; lack of water resources and their crimental state, etc.). It is noted that atmospheric air pollution and an insufficient amount of forests are common to the ecological state of the three regions. Taking into account a number of common problems of the Caspian regions, it seems reasonable to conclude that it is necessary to increase the role of law as a regulator of public relations, increase its effectiveness and develop a coordination function in the following areas: international cooperation (implementation of international obligations on the territory of three regions); adoption of federal environmental laws (extending to two or more subject of the Russian Federation; one subject of the Russia; several municipalities); development of regional environmental legislation. A number of measures are proposed to develop an eco-network approach in the regional rulemaking of the three Caspian regions.
