Since 2008, the Green Patrol organization has been composing every year ecological rating of Russian regions. Regions of the Russian Federation are evaluated in three main categories: environmental (atmosphere, water, bioresources), industrial and environmental (industrial waste, environmental impact, business responsibility, etc.) and social (cultural and educational initiatives, habitat, law and power, etc. .).

The Green Patrol receives information from various sources (media, statements of public organizations, citizens' reports, reports of expert organizations and so on), conducts its own expeditions and investigations, and as a result, a composite rating is compiled, thanks to which it is possible to determine the degree of ecological well-being of another region of the Russian Federation. So, where is the safest place to live from an environmental point of view?

10. Tomsk region

First of all, the conscious citizens of the Tomsk Region are engaged in counteracting illegal logging and reforestation - this is the way the volunteers planted 49 thousand trees in a year. Tomsk citizens also successfully close unauthorized landfills, take out household waste, and recently opened the first museum of nature and ecology. And although Tomsk Oblast is on the 10th place in terms of the combined rating, it is the first in the number of money spent on protecting the environment.

9. Rostov region

Over the past year, the Rostovites created a new nature reserve (on the site of mass migration of migratory birds) and released into the nature more than three thousand different birds, as well as deer and fallow deer. The main problem of the region is water resources. Due to the summer heat and mismanagement, the Tsimlyansk reservoir is only 9% of normal, water from the springs in the region cannot be drunk due to severe pollution, and Don continues to chalk.

8. Chuvash Republic

The Chuvash Republic has one of the highest social indicators in the environmental rating - 72, it is second only to the Oryol region. In addition, the creation of a new solid waste landfill influenced the entry into the ecological top 10 regions of the Russian Federation.

7. Kursk region

Over the past year, 153 million rubles from the budget were spent on environmental protection measures - they deepened and cleared the river channels, created specially protected territories, and disposed of household waste and hazardous substances.

6. Altai Territory

One of the favorite places for active tourism is replete with specially protected natural areas - a natural park, a nature reserve and 35 reserves, as well as more than one hundred natural monuments.

5. Ulyanovsk region

The main environmental problem in the Ulyanovsk region is the many landfills, of which half are unauthorized. In total, 660 ha are covered with garbage in the area! Regular inspections of legal entities are carried out, fines are imposed, but landfills continue to function. However, not everything is so bad: more than 19 thousand trees were planted in the region, a number of environmental measures were taken, and a national park and protected areas of regional significance were created.

4. Chukotka Autonomous Okrug

The incident with the polar bear, which the builders, for the sake of laughter, slipped an explosive package in the stern and posted on YouTube, became notorious. The governor of Chukotka asked the local authorities to investigate this crime.

3. Belgorod region

The region’s first biologization program for agriculture is operating in the region, volunteers plant trees (more than 50 thousand seedlings were planted in total), and fish fry are released into the rivers to restore the livestock.

2. Altai Republic

The garbage disaster in Russia did not pass the Altai Republic. It was not possible to solve the problem of placement, processing and disposal of municipal solid waste, which contributes to an increase in the number of unauthorized landfills that do not improve the environment.

1. Tambov region

It takes an honorable first place in the rating for the fourth year in a row. The most environmentally friendly region of Russia. 1 billion rubles were spent on the state program "Environmental Protection in the Tambov Region", and almost the same amount is spent by regional enterprises that installed and modernized environmental protection equipment.
