To the conservation of biodiversity of North Ossetia: an environmental and political aspect

This work shows that one of the main indicators of the ecological component of the modern process leading to the destruction of the biodiversity of the main faunistic complexes is a barbaric attitude towards limited natural resources. The main attention is paid to the legal mechanism for controlling the purposeful extermination of the animal world, pollution of the water basin, which will stabilize the state of ecosystems that are extremely important for the life support of the population (water and terrestrial biological resources). It is concluded that the current situation requires the creation of regulatory state mechanisms to ensure the environmental and national security of the republic and the entire Central Caucasus, as a unique natural region. The ecological function of the state as a guarantor of ecological safety and as a part of the national security system has been substantiated.
