Nowadays, at the times of the global ecological crisis and the rapid development of information networks and global means of communications the national concepts cannot really solve the uprising problems. This inability is notably clear on the example of the sustainable development concept. From the analytical point of view such a global problem can be solved only under the condition of defining the measure standards. Since the problem of the progress instability is hiding within the society itself and its relations with the nature, it is necessary to determine the ranges of the problem existence and variations. Such ranges or diapasons are spatial and temporal ones.

1. The spatial diapason could be classified and measured easily- the whole earth can be divided geographically to river and sea basins.

2. The second range, the temporal one, can be measured with some quantitative estimations of the existing biodiversity.

Those two qualitative criteria, geographical and biological, merge into the one ecological criterion for the measurement of nature-human system sustainability.

An attempt to practical solution of the problem of sustainable development was published by the author in 1995 as a concept of Sustainable Basin Development and could be found in the attachment. According to the theory of the most vulnerable points of the system the most vulnerable species (such as sturgeon) should be preserved. This species is some kind of an umbrella one for other species in the river ecosystem. The sturgeon is a unique biological indicator for the evaluation of the river ecological situation. It is long-lived species having almost the same life expectancy as human being. It is also not easily adaptive to the changes of the environment. This species is migrating within the basin under consideration along the most vulnerable river ecosystem points: shore - floodplain - river estuary.

In such a way, the initial problem comes to the retention of the predefined ecological parameters of the basin system with the help of completely new approach to the society management in the basin. This approach based on the biodiversity preservation.

The task under the consideration now is an inverse problem to the rational nature management within the basin. Such a task can be characterized by the following principles:

1. Mandatory binding of the local community activities with the situation of natural reproduction processes of the local species.
2. Rejection of the departmental approach to the organization of the economics on the basin level.
3. The management of the water resources and correspondingly, the management of the whole basin, is based on the most stressed element of the basin - estuary.

4. The water management policy is developed taking into the account the first priority of the anadromous fish life cycle securing as the main bioindicator of the environment. It means that the main steps of life cycle for the migratory population should be secured: fish passage through the dams, flooding of the floodlands, prohibition of the water intakes from the open-air water sources (rivers) during the downstream migration of young fishes, deployment of water intakes downstream from the sewage disposal, functioning of all the industries in the region only on the principle of closed water loop, etc. Obviously, the proposed scheme of the region and society management requires fundamentally new ecological legislation, so called basin legislation.

1. Shore Code
2. River Code
3. Regulations for the institutions of local governing

Introduction of the strict rules of the human society activities within the particular basin has supranational character and creates the prerequisite necessary for the establishment of the Earth Government. In practice, since this concept allows preserving traditional nature management, it gives us an excellent opportunity to settle the conflicts between local populations and migrants. The most active part of the population is getting an important and understandable goal. This is very important issue for Russia, in particular, where the state recently is not able to effectively govern the society and the nature. Thus, the allocation of the information centers of non-governmental organizations for the coordination of local governments' activities in the key points of the basin is essential for the basin approach.

Besides the society management one more information task has to be solved. It is the monitoring of the migration and population of the main bioindicator, anadroms, in river and sea. This task also can be resolved within the framework of the suggested concept.
