Abstract

The article deals with the issue of biodiversity conservation in a unique natural area located in the northern part of the Small Sea. The Zama area is an inaccessible tourist site due to the local road, where you need to drive at least 80 km along a difficult road strewn with boulders. The highway construction project will change the habitats of Red Book and endemic species of the Pribaikalsky National Park (PNP). The article considers the toponymy, climatic and edaphic characteristics of the area. The ecological characteristics and floristic richness of the habitats of plant species in the PNP are also explored. Plant communities of successional type in anthropogenically disturbed areas are described. The reasons for anthropogenic impact and recommendations for the restoration of natural communities are provided. The changes and the effect of human activities are described. The research materials can be used for creating an information basis for decision-making on preventing negative consequences of tourism activities and the environmental safety of Lake Baikal.
