THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN GREAT BRITAIN

The environmental protection takes an important place in the life of Great Britain. This country was always developing policies to protect nature from industrial pollution. In 1992 Great Britain took part in so called the «Earth Summit», where was signed the convention negotiated to protect biological diversity. As we know there are many historical places and buildings in Great Britain. So, they are not allowed to demolish, extend or alter without special permission. It is considered as England’s architectural and archaeological heritage. Most of these places are open to visitors. The voluntary bodies which deal with the protection of national heritage are supported by the Government by giving grants. The charity organizations count more than 2 million members, they own and protect over 300 properties which are always open to the public, and nearly 230 000 hectares of land. International cooperations on environmental protection are also highly supported by the country. Central and local government control waste, air and water pollution. Great Britain takes measures of improving the global environment. Britains no longer throw wastes in the sea. They even cut the emission of gases, which lead to acid rains. So, as we may see, Great Britain is very troubled with its natural and cultural heritage. And Britain’s attempts to save nature should be a pattern for other countries.
