Altay Territory has been registered among top ten regions of Russia with the best ecological situation, the public organization Green Patrol informs.
      
      The Green Patrol’s ecological rating estimates all the regions of this country by 15 criteria, deducing the general indicators in the eco sphere, techno sphere and society, which then make up the overall rating.
      
      Apart from Altay Territory the top ten eco-friendly regions include the Amur Region, Belgorod Region, Pskov Region, Tambov Region and Tomsk Region, as well as Altai Republic, Buryatiya, Tyva and Chuvash Republic.
      
      At the same time there have been unexpected changes among the worst ten regions. Along with long-term outsiders, such as Sverdlovsk Region, Chelyabinsk Region, Moscow Region, Orenburg Region, and Transbaikalian Territory, in 2010 Moscow, Kalmykia, the Tula Region and Leningrad Region saw steep downfall.
