One of the hardest points to drive home in Russia, with its vast size, is that resources are limited. If land or water was polluted, there was always more elsewhere. It is this attitude that environmentalists near Lake Baikal are striving to change. The spectacular lake, a @UNESCO #WorldHeritage Site, sits like a giant blue apostrophe on the Siberian map. Younger generations seem to understand that Lake Baikal — the largest, deepest body of freshwater on the planet — needs protecting, but the mind-set is not yet universal. The biggest environmental concern is the tourist boom. The flight from Beijing to Irkutsk, Russia, is less than 3 hours, and Chinese tourists have been flooding the area since the 2014 collapse in the price of the ruble. And recently, a team of Russian and Chinese investors announced plans to spend more than $11 billion developing hotels and other tourist infrastructure. Environmentalists are worried that if the plan materializes it will not just be honky-tonk, but ecologically destructive. @mjrhill took this photo of an ice skater on the western edge of Lake Baikal while on #nytassignment in Siberia.
