Role of the Orenburg region in solving the problems of environmental safety and rational use of natural resources

Abstract

Uncontrolled population growth and resource scarcity on the one hand, and ecological tensions associated with the extraction of oil, gas and mineral resources on the other, pose global challenges to humanity. The well-being of the future and the security of our country will depend on how rationally we can dispose of the Earth's resources today. The Orenburg region is a convincing example of extensive extraction of organic and mineral raw materials with the use of technologies that do not meet the requirements of the modern level. The author believes that this condition is typical for many of our regions, in this connection the state should declare as a priority the solution of the problems of waste-free deep processing of raw materials and preservation of resources for future generations.
