Popis: We review the status of the Baikal Neutrino Experiment. The Neutrino Telescope NT200 is operating in Lake Baikal since 1998 and has been upgraded to the 10 Mton detector NT200+ in 2005. We present selected results concerning astroparticle physics as well as results of environmental studies. We describe the strategy of creating a Gigaton (km3) scale neutrino detector at Lake Baikal. First steps of activities towards a km3 Baikal neutrino telescope, including the development of acoustic high energy neutrino detection method are discussed.
