The environmental situation in many regions of the country, including in the North Caucasus Federal District, remains rather complicated today. An analysis of the ecological situation in the whole of the North Caucasus Federal District allows us to conclude that the current environmental problems in the region are, firstly, environmental pollution by products of human activity, manifested in the release of hazardous substances into the atmosphere by industrial enterprises and road transport and the result of discharge of untreated sewage into the rivers of the Terek-Caspian basin; and the second no less serious environmental problem in the region remains - depletion of natural resources as a result of economic and other activities: erosion, increased acidity and soil salinity; inefficient and wasteful use of water resources (primarily freshwater), deforestation and the disappearance of many plant and animal species. According to the authors, at present, in the North Caucasus Federal District, as well as in the Russian Federation in general, there is an acute need for the development and application of a new concept of ecological thinking with a mechanism for its substantive implementation that is adequate to the new challenges of our time and is capable of ensuring the basic constitutional right of our country's citizens environmental safety.
