Problems in formation of favorable environment cause search of more and more optimum decisions such as practice of preservation of ecosystems in specific territories and sites of natural heritage are the most significant. In this regard, the authors analyze some aspects of the activities of the Baltic Sea countries to preserve such territories. We pay special attention to the implementation of international conventions. They are the Ramsar Convention and the Convention on the protection of the world natural and cultural heritage. This article uses a statistical method of analyzing the data, which is presented in official sources. The main result of our research is identification of insufficient practical efforts of the Baltic States to preserve the natural heritage. The authors propose a number of actions aimed at strengthening of environmental protection in this region as an example of the Russian Federation.
