Abstract
The protected areas of the Nadym district are currently represented by only one nature reserve «Nadymskiy». This does not protect the biodiversity of the region. In 2020, we conducted a survey of the Nadym district in order to find new sites for the creation of protected areas. As a result, 7 new protected areas have been proposed: a natural park, a wildlife sanctuary and 5 natural monuments, including three lakes with a rare protected species of spore plants – Isoetes echinospora. The proposed protected areas cover the biodiversity of all natural zones of the Nadym district: tundra, forest-tundra and northern taiga. Some of the protected areas are of great historical and cultural importance for the aborigines.
Highlights
In 2020, we surveyed the territory of the Nadym district to identify areas that are promising for the creation of protected areas
In the Nadym district, the number of finds of plant and animal species included in the national [1] and regional Red Data Books [2] was very small, so much attention was directed to finding new locations of rare species
The natural monument is located within the floodplain and above-floodplain terraces of the Mongayurbey River
Summary
In 2020, we surveyed the territory of the Nadym district to identify areas that are promising for the creation of protected areas. The modern network of protected areas in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug includes two federal reserves, a natural park and eleven regional wildlife sanctuaries. The natural monument is located southwest of the confluence of the Mongayurbey and Kharvuta rivers, on the border with the Tazovsky district.
