The article makes up for the lack of scientific attention to the practice of fulfilling international obligations for the protection of World Heritage sites abroad, an in–depth analysis of which is carried out, first of all, in the framework of considering ways to overcome the threatening state of the Baikal ecosystem, the implementation of the plans of the Mongolian government to erect a cascade of hydraulic structures on the main tributary of Lake Baikal – the transboundary Selenga River within the territory of Mongolia. Everglades National Park was chosen as the object of research. The choice of this specially protected natural area is due, among other things, to the fact that this object has twice been included in the List of World Heritage in Danger, and is in it at the time of the creation of this article, while being included in the Montreux Record. The subject of the study is the practice of legal protection of the specified world Heritage site by the mechanisms of the Convention on the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Based on the study of foreign scientific literature, as well as the original texts of legal documents, the main problems threatening the ecosystem of the Everglades National Park, as well as the importance of the activities of the World Heritage Committee in its preservation, are considered. Separately, the influence of internal political processes in the United States on the exclusion and re-inclusion of an object located on the territory of the state in the List of World Heritage under Threat is noted. According to the results of the study, effective economic and legal mechanisms for the protection of unique natural objects are identified, which can potentially be used in the Russian Federation to solve the problems of protecting the ecosystem of Lake Baikal (purchase of land plots by the state; inclusion of objects in the List of World Heritage under threat, etc.).
