The state administration system significantly influences the protection, efficient use and reproduction of natural resources, the effective combination of functions of management of nature and environment defence, ensuring environmentally secure existence for the present and future generations. Such impact is carried out through the state ecological management, that is, the ecological policy formation and implementation.
