The history of Lake Baikal serves as an example of the importance of preserving and protecting a unique natural environment. Baikal is the deepest and oldest lake on Earth, located in Siberia, Russia. It is estimated to be around 25 million years old and is considered one of the cleanest and purest lakes in the world.

However, the history of Baikal also includes a dark side associated with environmental problems. The influence of chemical pollution, physical alteration and biological contamination have led to pollution of the lake and the deterioration of its ecosystem.

In the following years the ecosystem of Baikal was at risk of poisoning and disruption of its balance.

However, due to growing awareness and understanding of the importance of preserving the ecological wealth of Baikal, numerous efforts have been made to protect it. In recent years, the government, in collaboration with national and international organizations, have increasingly focused on environmental issues. As a result of these efforts, significant progress has been made in safeguarding the ecological integrity of Baikal.

Today, Baikal remains a symbol of environmental struggle and an important subject for ethical reflection on the interaction between humans and nature. It reminds us of our responsibility towards nature and the need for a balanced approach to development, considering the environmental consequences of our actions. The ethical aspect of ecology underscores the importance of the preservation of unique ecosystems for future generations.

The Living Lake continues to inspire people to explore its unique beauty and nature.

Photojournalism at Baikal plays an important role in saving this unique location, creating visual narratives that inspire people to care for nature. It reminds us of the interconnection between humans and the environment and that our well-being depends on the health of natural ecosystems, including majestic places like Baikal.
