• Since ancient times Nature has served Man, being the source of his life. For thousands of years people lived in harmony -with environment. But with the development of civi­lization man's interference with na­ture began to increase.
• Large cities with thousands of smoky industrial enterprises appear all over the world today. They pol­lute the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land we live in. Many cities suffer from smog. Vast fo­rests are cut and burn in fire.
• As a result some rare kinds of animals, birds, fish and plants disap­pear forever, a number of rivers and lakes dry up.
• Environmental protection is a universal concern. That is why serious measures to create a system of ecological security should be taken.
• Some progress has been already made in this direction. As many as 159 countries — members of the UNO (Union of Nations Organizations) — have set up environmental protection agencies.
• Numerous conferences have been held by these agencies to dis­cuss questions of ecologically poor regions including the Aral Sea, the South Urals, Kuzbass, Donbass, Semipalatinsk and Chernobyl. An international environmental re­search centre has been set up on Lake Baikal. The international organization Greenpeace is also do­ing much to keep the environ­ment.

• Moscow, the Capital of Russia
