Abstract
The history of formation, the main components, the non-standard methods of teaching the new school discipline «The Baikal studies» are outlined. The article is formed in the interview with the editorial board member of the journal with the organizer of this academic discipline, the author of a number of textbooks, scientific and popular publications about Baikal, a specialist in Baikal, candidate of biological sciences, deputy director of the Baikal Museum of the SB RAS, Elena Nikolaevna Kuzevanova. A brief description of the history of the study of Baikal is given. Ecological and economic problems of Lake Baikal are discussed. Analogies are being made between the laws of ecology and the models of the economy. The possibilities of financing measures to improve the ecological situation in the Baikal natural territory at the expense of rental income from natural resources of Lake Baikal are estimated. It is concluded that Baikal already at the present time is fully capable of «self-financing» - the rental revenues received from the hydroelectric power of the Angara River are estimated at more than 120 billion rubles. in year. The necessity and possibility of consistent coexistence of ecological and economic efficiency of people's life on the Baikal coast is discussed.
