İncluding multifunctional specially protected natural areas to the complex type of natural preserves enriches the composition of their species and improves its scientific and practical significance. As the study area has rich dendro flora, large areas were taken under state control as a specially protected natural area. In recent years, with a great increase in tourists to this area and the raising of tourism development to the state policy level (2011 year was declared tourism year) the relevance of comprehensive studies of these specially protected areas has greatly increased. It has been important to include them in the tourism routes under serious control. From this point of view, it has a great scientific and practical importance to study the natural preserves both comprehensively and purposefully.

One of the main principles of “green economy” is the organization of business activity in such a way as to enhance welfare of people and provide for social equity while considerably decreasing risks of the environmental degradation. The purpose of the article is to study possibilities and conditions of involvement of the regional protected natural area being created into social and economic development. “Kulinda” scientific and training station in the Chernyshevsky District of the Trans-Baikal Territory is being created for preservation and study of the unique location where Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus dinosaur fossils have been found. The station is referred to the new category of regional specially protected natural areas. The performed studies have confirmed the conservation value of the territory and necessity of specially protected natural area creation in the Chernyshevsky District of the Trans-Baikal Territory. The nearest rural settlement (village of Novoilinsk) is an area with an unfavorable socio-economic situation: low standard of living, unemployment, and annual outflow of population. Development of tourism on the basis of natural resources and areas of interest of the scientific and training station is viewed as a possibility to involve population of villages being abandoned into the economic activity. The article analyzes available opportunities and perspective directions of tourism for the object: geological (geotourism), academical (scientific), educational, agricultural (agrotourism), and ecological tourism. In addition, the article considers negative factors hindering the development of rural areas and the scientific and training station: lack of financing, poor transport accessibility, imperfection of service infrastructure, and seasonality of the scientific and training station activity. The author makes a conclusion that development of tourism in specially protected natural areas can become a growing point for economy of rural regions through the development of associated service industries and can contribute to the growth of educational activity of the population.

The paper examines the features of the international status of "UNESCO Global Geopark" that are important for the development of Russian legislation regulating Geoparks. The criteria for the status of a “UNESCO Global Geopark” that affect the national legal regime of the Geopark include the criterion for the presence of geological objects with a protected status on its territory. The author has analyzed the references to national legislation contained in the criteria for UNESCO Global Geoparks. The paper highlights the differences between the UNESCO Global Geopark, the World Heritage Site and the Biosphere Reserve, analyzes the cases of overlaps between the Geopark concept and the concept of a World Heritage site or a biosphere reserve. Also, the author shows that the term Geopark is extremely rarely used in federal legislation (single strategic planning documents) in the context of the need arising in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to regulate the processes of creation and functioning of Geoparks. The author has proven the connection between the Russian legislation on Geoparks, regardless of the further fate of its development, with the legislation on specially protected natural areas.The author determines four possible types of organization and functioning of geoparks in Russia: 1) a geopark as a tourist and recreational zone; 2) a geopark without a legal regime for a tourist and recreational zone and without a legal regime for a specially protected natural area; 3) a geopark with a legal regime of a specially protected natural area in the form of a state paleontological, mineralogical or geological reserve; 4) a geopark as an independent category of a specially protected natural area approved by regional regulatory legal acts. The author specifically describes the legal regime of each type of the Geopark. The author makes suggestions and recommendations for the development of federal and regional legislation on Geoparks in Russia.

В данной статье произведен обзор имеющихся в Российской Федерации механизмов территориальной охраны мест обитания редких и находящихся под угрозой исчезновения таксонов живых организмов. Одной из основных и первостепенных функций систем особо охраняемых природных территорий является сохранение биологического разнообразия региона. При этом, особо охраняемая природная территория предстает средством территориального управления, имеющим свой юридический механизм создания и функционирования. Here I provide an overview of the mechanisms of territorial protection of habitats of rare and endangered species of living organisms available in the Russian Federation. One of the main and paramount functions of the systems of specially protected natural areas is the preservation of the biological diversity of the region. At the same time, a specially protected natural area appears as a means of territorial administration, which has its own legal mechanisms of appearance and functioning

Relevance of the work. The modern management of specially protected natural areas of the Tyumen region is based on the preservation of the existing structure. The region belongs to the few regions where reserves do not function. Strategic regional documents for the development of environmental protection do not contain evaluative characteristics, which does not allow judging the achievement of key performance indicators. In the existing technological and socioeconomic conditions, this approach cannot meet public needs, the formation of a favorable investment climate. Objective: on the basis of an assessment of the environmental value, significance and efficiency of the activities carried out in a separate specially protected natural area, develop proposals for optimizing the management of the “Kartashovsky Forest” natural monument. Methodology of the work: assessment of the environmental efficiency of specially protected natural areas and their regional systems WWF, 2012; spatial assessment is based on the geoinformation method; information base: state information systems of state executive authorities of the Russian Federation, the Tyumen region, the regulatory legal framework of the Russian Federation, the Tyumen region. Results of work and their scope. Based on the assessment of the environmental value, significance and effectiveness of the activities carried out, proposals were developed to optimize the management of the natural monument “Kartashovsky Forest”. Applications: environmental protection in the Tyumen region, regional management of investment attractiveness. Conclusions. The efficiency of the environmental protection activities carried out on the territory of the natural monument “Kartashovsky Forest” can be increased by introducing modern technological management solutions. The proposed solutions, integrated in a single information space, can be applied in the regional environmental management.

The possibility of using chemical and mechanical methods to control the undesirable growth of the invasive species Acer negundo L. at the expositions of the Main Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which has the status of a specially protected natural area, was studied. It was found that treatment of freshly cut stumps of A. negundo with glyphosphate in concentration of 7.2 g/l causes death of 65% of plants. In the rest of the specimens of A. negundo from this option the amount of growing epicormic sprouts decreased by 5.2 times in comparison with the usual cutting (control).

Abstract A significant role in optimizing the state of the urban environment is played by the natural complex; one of its components is specially protected natural areas (SPNA). Therefore, the idea to create an SPNA system for the Voronezh region is especially important. The purpose of these studies was to prepare, according to a comprehensive environmental survey, a scientific justification for assigning the SPNA status of regional importance to recreational plantations. Standard methods of taxation, ecological, geographical, botanical, soil and faunal research were used in the work. The results of the studies include a description of the soil and plant cover, zoo and mycological complexes inhabiting the object. Natural features of SPNA including geographical situation, geological structure, and relief were identified. An analysis of the planning organization of the territory, types of spatial structure, aesthetic and sanitary-hygienic properties, forest environment digression and pathological state of plantations was carried out. Based on the results of the comprehensive survey, it was recommended to assign the SPNA status of regional significance to this object - a natural park, the main functions of which should be the preservation of natural complexes and maintaining environmental balance in the city district of Voronezh.

The main objective of this research is to analyse the perception of visitors in protected natural areas struggling with mass tourism. An exhaustive analysis is carried out of both the tourist activity and the profile of the tourists in the Garganta de los Infiernos Natural Reserve (Extremadura, Spain). It studies variables such as the number of visitors, their personal profile, their perception of the protected area after the visit, etc. The method used was non-experimental, descriptive, qualitative and analytical, and it allowed for a better understanding of the profile of the visitors: sex, age, origin, professional profile, etc. The results show the visitors’ conviction about the need to properly manage areas of public use, mainly due to the notable and partly uncontrolled growth of tourism activity during certain periods of the year. On the other hand, the relevance of the actions of the Governing Board of the Natural Reserve is highlighted, as it guarantees public participation and channels the opinions of the main partners involved in the management of the protected area, to ensure a responsible management of tourism activity and improve its quality.

The majority of protected natural areas in Brazil were created in coastal areas inhabited by humans for centuries. However, legal protection has triggered a series of conflicts involving human settlements in these areas. To overcome part of these problems, ethnoecological studies have been conducted in order to discover what is known by local indigenous communities with respect to the land, its natural cycles, occurrence and abundance of animal species, and their use. This knowledge, coupled with that acquired in dealing with current situations that negatively affect the quality of life, is useful in protected natural-area planning and management. To that end, the present study proposes environmental education based on ethnoscientific methods, designed to facilitate the maintenance of socio-diversity in the Superagui National Park.

The article presents comprehensive data on one of the nature monuments of the Kirov region under the name “Zhukovlyansky sandstone spherical concretions”. The status of a specially protected natural area of local importance was granted to it in 2017 due to the presence of clusters of spherical geological bodies of human size, which give the area a very scenic view. They were discovered during the quarrying of gravel and sand materials in the early 80-s of the last century and soon became a reason to put forward various hypotheses regarding the time and methods of their formation. The latter was the motivation for this publication, which is based on field and laboratory geological and soil-geochemical studies carried out by the authors in 2014-18. The results below give an idea of the peculiarities of the spatial structure, component composition and properties of local geosystems, the time of formation of their lithogenic basis, scientific and cognitive, tourist-recreational importance and problems of preservation of the original natural heritage of the region under consideration. From the genetic point of view, the spherical sandstone concretions located within the paleolacial province of the Vyatka Territory are treated by the authors as native Permian formations, not affected or slightly affected by fluvioglacial processes at the Pleistocene stage of geological development. They serve as a basis for the designation of a special category of protected areas on Vyatka land - natural and man-made monuments - as an example of spontaneous creation of nature and man.

The territories located near the administrative boundaries of the subjects of the federation are often relatively intact and are of interest in conservation terms. This is largely due to their poor availability, due to which communities with a significant concentration of rare and protected species are found here. Often, regional protected natural areas are confined to such border territories. A number of examples of the functioning of protected areas of various status and categories near the borders of the Moscow region and the possibility of creating adjacent protected areas of various dimensions and categories in neighboring subjects of the federation are considered.
