Abstract

The article proves that the environmental atlases adopted in a number of subjects of the Russian Federation as a set of maps showing the ecological state of the region, environmental protection measures and a list of potential anthropogenic threats to natural objects currently have uncertain legal significance, which makes their practical use difficult. To address this issue, it is necessary to include in regional environmental protection laws an appropriate section defining the scope of application of the data contained in environmental atlases. Atlas materials can be used by public authorities in the course of environmental protection (environmental monitoring, environmental control, informing authorities and citizens about the state of the environment, etc.), environmental public associations and citizens (to substantiate lawsuits or appeals to authorities), entrepreneurs (when planning the construction of factories and other environmentally friendly dangerous objects). If the environmental atlas is officially approved by the authorities of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, its legal significance will become more definite. By their legal nature, atlases belong to the category of auxiliary (technical) acts that are not sources of law, but they can be used by a public authority in the preparation of various environmental concepts, strategies and programs.
