Tangiev Bakhaudin Batyrovich

The article presents the results of the author's 30-year research, legitimised by the publication of the monograph "Ecocriminological Multimodal Concept for Training Qualified Specialists in the Field of Environmental Safety, Environmental Protection, and Ecovictimological Defence". It is substantiated that the systemic challenge posed by transnational ecocrime, with a latency rate reaching 97–100 %, for certain offences, cannot be mitigated through fragmented efforts of narrowly specialised professionals. The author formulates ecocriminology (oikoscrimenlogos) as a transdisciplinary core that integrates law, ecology, and technology. A conceptual solution is proposed: a multimodal modular system for training a new type of specialists – "ecoprotectors" – who master a proactive workflow scheme: "risk → forecast → prevention → protection → restoration". The role of digital tools is demonstrated (GIEKS – Geoinformation System and Technologies, and the prospective EKII – Ecocriminological Artificial Intelligence). The readiness of the Russian scientific school to develop unified standards for international cooperation is proven
