Free flowing Amur must have available floodplain so that water can spread out during the flood, causing minimal damage to people. Assessing the consequences of floods, it is difficult to talk about damage to nature, as this is a natural process. We need to talk about the damage to the population, the economy and of possibilities to avoid this damage in the future, adapting to the catastrophic natural phenomenon.

Most of the major greenhouse gas emitters have declared to achieve carbon (climate) neutrality by 2050-2060. At the same time achieving real carbon neutrality is mainly impossible without increasing the sequestration capacity of natural ecosystems. This can be achieved by projects reducing greenhouse gas emissions in forestry and increasing carbon sequestration of forest ecosystems (forest carbon projects). Forestry projects from the climate perspective are Nature Based Solutions and they can bring significant additional benefits in addition to the actual climate effect: biological diversity and protective functions of forests maintenance; adaptation of natural ecosystems and local communities to climate change; improvement of the economic efficiency of the forest sector; local economy support, etc.
