Abstract

The large territory, including Mongolia and Russian Siberia, discussed in the article, has similarities in physical, geographical, and socio-demographic parameters, as well as the attitude to them as "resource colonies". But these Siberian and Mongolian components differ significantly politically, which affects their institutional and managerial characteristics, which in turn affects the process of forming the structure of territorial nature protection. The article analyses the existing systems of protected areas in Siberia and Mongolia, their structure, and legislative bases. In this study, Siberia is considered within the boundaries of the natural geographic territory between the Urals and the Far East and includes 14 regions of Russia. Of these, the Siberian Federal District includes the Altai Republic, Altai Krai, Irkutsk Oblast, Kemerovo Oblast, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Novosibirsk Oblast, Omsk Oblast, Tomsk Oblast, Tuva Republic, Khakassia Republic. The Far Eastern Federal District includes the Buryatia Republic, the Trans-Baikal Krai, Sakha (Yakutia) Republic; the Tyumen Oblast is located in the Ural Federal District.

Highlights

  • Territorial nature protection or "activities for the preservation, maintenance and restoration of the natural environment in specially designated areas with significant restrictions on the use of natural resources" is usually associated with the operation of specially protected natural areas (PAs)

  • In Russia, settlements may be located within the PAs boundaries, which causes difficulties both in the management of a protected natural area and problems with the development of villages

  • Cartographic analysis of information makes it possible to assess the distribution of PAs by natural zones and administrative units of the Siberia as a part of Russian and Mongolia

Summary

Introduction

Territorial nature protection or "activities for the preservation, maintenance and restoration of the natural environment in specially designated areas with significant restrictions on the use of natural resources" is usually associated with the operation of specially protected natural areas (PAs). The study covers a geographically unified and significant area of the Asian continent, including the Russian macro region of Siberia and the country of Mongolia. Siberia and Mongolia are similar in their continental location, climate, landscapes, mineral deposits and methods of their development, low density and population, mainly concentrated in cities. The purpose of the study is to analyze the activities of protected areas in Siberia and Mongolia by comparing the institutional, legislative and structural framework
