Modern Day Problems

Today, most of Lake Baikal is unharmed and beautiful. But neighboring towns are starting to dump their sewage into the lake. The pollution is killing off endangered species of fish. It is also destroying animals habitats and the native plants. There are around 1,500 plant and animal species that can only be found in Baikal, including the famous Baikal Seal. Some of the water is a mucky brown, immensely taking away from the beauty of the lake. We can only hope that the sewage dumping will be outlawed before it's too late.

Trash!!!!!!
