The aim of the work is to study the legislative framework for the protection of the Lena River. The article discusses actual problems related to the ecology of the Lena River. A brief analysis of the current ecological state of the Lena River basin is made. Mining, industrial development of deposits, operation of oil storage facilities and settlements located in coastal areas lead to pollution of the river with various harmful impurities. The unique natural conditions and wealth of natural resources of the northern territories require the adoption of all possible methods of protecting the unique ecosystem. Legal protection should be a priority measure in preserving the ecology of the Lena River basin. An overview of federal regulatory and legislative documents on the protection of water bodies is provided. It is shown that the legislative framework for the protection of the Lena River has not been formed and is in the process of formation. The paper proposes the creation of comprehensive environmental legislation to preserve the nature of the Lena River basin. The basis for the legislative protection of the Lena River is the strategic provisions of federal laws on water bodies. The article outlines the main measures to preserve the ecological state of the river for future generations. The need to increase humanity’s responsibility for preserving the environment is noted. The above circumstance makes it relevant to attract public attention to the development of programs to preserve the ecological state of the Lena River.
