Moscow Region "Greens" inspected the relict Lake Savoevo in Demirovsky district: the quarry and development are killing the unique ecosystem of the Ice Age! The residents of the Dmitrov urban district showed the activists their pride - the Sboevskoe Remnant Lake. But instead of admiring the beauty, we had to talk about other issues: the streams that feed the reservoir are drying up due to the development of the quarry through which they used to flow. People said they are actively building new homes in the area, cutting down forests, and they fear runoff from the new buildings could go directly into the lake. In recent years the reservoir has shrunk greatly and dried up. The residents have an official environmental assessment in their hands, which confirms: the environment of Lake Savoavo is an area of ​​exceptional natural value. Species listed in the Red Book live here, and there is a unique Ice Age ecosystem. Activists have long proposed creating a protected area around the lake to protect this corner from destruction. But instead of security there is active sale and development of lots. And the large-scale Grishino-2 quarry, located nearby, is systematically cutting the streams that feed the reservoir and opening up the aquifers. The locals are convinced: this is an environmental disaster for many families. The reservoir is suffocating and dying right now, and people are forced to wait. "The situation reached an absurd point: one of the feeding streams "magically" disappeared from the official maps immediately after the residents contacted the Ministry of Ecology. But it was this stream that divided the quarry in two; If it had been known then, 1/3 of the forest would have been saved," residents and activists say.
