Abstract

An important measure of the legal protection of the economic and social interests of small groups of indigenous people is the allocation of territories of traditional nature management. When it comes to territories of traditional environmental management of indigenous people as specially protected natural territories, the regime of environmental management should be environmentally reasonable, socially acceptable and cost-effective. However, the realization of these conditions is tough. The task is to direct the process of development of the territories of traditional environmental management in an environmentally safe course, to try to integrate these territories into various spheres of life of indigenous people, especially in the northern regions, until they are roughly integrated exclusively into the production sphere. The difficulties of the legal plan are caused by the inconsistency of the sectoral federal and regional legislation, the protracted procedure for the development of the status, regime and, especially, the territorial boundaries of the territories of traditional environmental management.

Highlights

Because of the process of democratization of society, changes in the social and economic situation, large-scale development of natural resources, especially in the northern regions of Russia, the issues of ensuring and developing small groups of indigenous people, the territories of their residence and economic activity are becoming more and more important priorities of state policy
The fuel and energy complex is actively developing on the territory of the Far North, while the economic attractiveness of the fields and the corresponding land plots conflicts with the requirements for the protection of the environment and the interests of the indigenous people living in these territories [2]
Due to the fact that the territory of the Far North is rich with natural complexes with environmental, scientific, cultural and aesthetic values, often within the boundaries of specially protected natural areas, oil and gas industry is carried out, which leads to a decrease in the number of rare animals and birds, disturbance of the natural landscape, soil pollution, destruction of vegetation cover, reduction of deer pasture area, etc

Summary

Introduction

Because of the process of democratization of society, changes in the social and economic situation, large-scale development of natural resources, especially in the northern regions of Russia, the issues of ensuring and developing small groups of indigenous people, the territories of their residence and economic activity are becoming more and more important priorities of state policy. Environmentalists, public figures say that the law of the Russian Federation of 21.02.1992 No 2395-1 “On subsoil” prevails over laws regulating relations in the organization, protection and use of specially protected natural territories, environmental protection, environmental safety, as well as regulatory acts protecting the rights of indigenous people and restricting economic activities within the boundaries of traditional environmental management areas. These facts are confirmed by the adoption in 2013 of the Federal law of 28.12.2013 No 406 “On amendments to the Federal law «On specially protected natural territories” and certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation”.
