Changing the Paradigm of Natural Ecosystems Management

Abstract

The article studies the processes of changing the system of ideological positions regarding the nature of economic activity in different periods of human development. This leads to a change in the organization and environmental management. The paradigm shift is the transition from the concept of consumer attitude to nature to the process of human environmental interaction, when the domestication of plants and animals as a result of the Neolithic revolution, led to the first social division of labor and the separation of sedentary plant-growing communities and nomadic livestock tribes. The understanding of the commodity nature of the ecological good received from the ecosystem should be considered as a revolutionary change, which receives the form of an ecosystem service in a market economy A condition for the use of ecosystem services are counter payments of restoration costs for the reproductive and sustainable state of the ecosystem. This approach provides a tool for goal orientation, quantitative accounting and cost estimation of the necessary replacement costs that can be included in the value chain of the product. It also makes it possible to describe the role of Russia as a global environmental donor.
