Abstract

The article deals with the implementation of the legal protection of permafrost. The state of legal regulation in this area is investigated, an analysis of strategic planning documents, federal and regional legislation, as well as by-laws relating to this issue is carried out. On the basis of scientific data on the important environment-forming role of permafrost, a conclusion is made about the expediency of singling it out as a specific object of environmental relations. Options for improving domestic environmental legislation in order to reduce the anthropogenic impact on the permafrost zone are proposed.
