The territories located near the administrative boundaries of the subjects of the federation are often relatively intact and are of interest in conservation terms. This is largely due to their poor availability, due to which communities with a significant concentration of rare and protected species are found here. Often, regional protected natural areas are confined to such border territories. A number of examples of the functioning of protected areas of various status and categories near the borders of the Moscow region and the possibility of creating adjacent protected areas of various dimensions and categories in neighboring subjects of the federation are considered.

The subject of the paper is protected natural areas of the world and their regional differences. According to the IUCN, a protected natural area is “a clearly defined geographical space, recognized, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values”. States differ in their interpretations of the above definition. Very often, some of the sites that are protected areas in one country may not necessarily be considered protected in another country. In defining and management of protected areas, some countries have adapted their laws to international guidelines, while in other countries the legislation differs significantly from these guidelines. Therefore, the research aims to show regional differences in the identification and management process as well as in the total surface area and abundance of protected natural areas at the world level.

One of the main principles of “green economy” is the organization of business activity in such a way as to enhance welfare of people and provide for social equity while considerably decreasing risks of the environmental degradation. The purpose of the article is to study possibilities and conditions of involvement of the regional protected natural area being created into social and economic development. “Kulinda” scientific and training station in the Chernyshevsky District of the Trans-Baikal Territory is being created for preservation and study of the unique location where Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus dinosaur fossils have been found. The station is referred to the new category of regional specially protected natural areas. The performed studies have confirmed the conservation value of the territory and necessity of specially protected natural area creation in the Chernyshevsky District of the Trans-Baikal Territory. The nearest rural settlement (village of Novoilinsk) is an area with an unfavorable socio-economic situation: low standard of living, unemployment, and annual outflow of population. Development of tourism on the basis of natural resources and areas of interest of the scientific and training station is viewed as a possibility to involve population of villages being abandoned into the economic activity. The article analyzes available opportunities and perspective directions of tourism for the object: geological (geotourism), academical (scientific), educational, agricultural (agrotourism), and ecological tourism. In addition, the article considers negative factors hindering the development of rural areas and the scientific and training station: lack of financing, poor transport accessibility, imperfection of service infrastructure, and seasonality of the scientific and training station activity. The author makes a conclusion that development of tourism in specially protected natural areas can become a growing point for economy of rural regions through the development of associated service industries and can contribute to the growth of educational activity of the population.

Background: Protected areas are important attractions for promoting healthy life habits. Consequently, to date, a number of studies have examined the association between visitors’ characteristics and physical activities. However, little is known about the specific users inclined exclusively to have sedentary behavior during a visit. Thus, using the Alt Pirineu Natural Park (Spain) as a case study, the aim of this study is to determine the influence of sociodemographic, trip, motivational, and opinion descriptors on the likelihood of participating in sedentary behavior while visiting a protected natural area. Methods: The data used were randomly collected from visitors through an onsite structured questionnaire (N = 628). Results: Metabolic equivalent consumption was used to empirically distinguish the sedentary (22.6%) from the active (77.4%) visitor groups. A logistic regression analysis indicated that the trip and motivational descriptors explained the highest degree of the overall variation in reporting sedentary behavior. Conclusion: The study contributed to documenting the information about visitors’ behavior in protected areas, and the findings may aid park managers in developing effective management strategies for promoting and enhancing physical activity in protected natural areas.

The majority of protected natural areas in Brazil were created in coastal areas inhabited by humans for centuries. However, legal protection has triggered a series of conflicts involving human settlements in these areas. To overcome part of these problems, ethnoecological studies have been conducted in order to discover what is known by local indigenous communities with respect to the land, its natural cycles, occurrence and abundance of animal species, and their use. This knowledge, coupled with that acquired in dealing with current situations that negatively affect the quality of life, is useful in protected natural-area planning and management. To that end, the present study proposes environmental education based on ethnoscientific methods, designed to facilitate the maintenance of socio-diversity in the Superagui National Park.

Relevance of the work. The modern management of specially protected natural areas of the Tyumen region is based on the preservation of the existing structure. The region belongs to the few regions where reserves do not function. Strategic regional documents for the development of environmental protection do not contain evaluative characteristics, which does not allow judging the achievement of key performance indicators. In the existing technological and socioeconomic conditions, this approach cannot meet public needs, the formation of a favorable investment climate. Objective: on the basis of an assessment of the environmental value, significance and efficiency of the activities carried out in a separate specially protected natural area, develop proposals for optimizing the management of the “Kartashovsky Forest” natural monument. Methodology of the work: assessment of the environmental efficiency of specially protected natural areas and their regional systems WWF, 2012; spatial assessment is based on the geoinformation method; information base: state information systems of state executive authorities of the Russian Federation, the Tyumen region, the regulatory legal framework of the Russian Federation, the Tyumen region. Results of work and their scope. Based on the assessment of the environmental value, significance and effectiveness of the activities carried out, proposals were developed to optimize the management of the natural monument “Kartashovsky Forest”. Applications: environmental protection in the Tyumen region, regional management of investment attractiveness. Conclusions. The efficiency of the environmental protection activities carried out on the territory of the natural monument “Kartashovsky Forest” can be increased by introducing modern technological management solutions. The proposed solutions, integrated in a single information space, can be applied in the regional environmental management.

In protected areas of Russia unique spatial-coordinated data on their territories on certain positions and methods is collected by local and other scientists. The data is stored in various formats (sometimes physically lost), very rarely in the form of maps, some of them in the annual reports are transferred to the MNR. Systematically arranged collecting, storage, analysis and transfer of these data could be significantly enhanced and optimized

The concept of “ecological tourism” both in the world and in Russia has appeared in the second half of the twentieth century, although people traveled with natural-focused purposes, including around the protected areas, much earlier. The article presents several definitions of ecotourism, including the two given by the authors. The authors note that ecotourism can be developed in two ways: as a journey on any remaining natural areas or as tour, excursion exclusively within specially protected natural areas (SPNA). The second option is successfully developed in many Englishspeaking countries. The article confirms this fact using the original modern data on the dynamics of visits to the most famous national parks in the USA. Based on the analysis of literature and Internet sources it is concluded that the governance of the Russian Federation considers it necessary to develop eco-tourism in our country according to the second “North American” concept. In this case, the people attending the state protected areas – national parks and reserves with educational and recreational goals should be considered as eco-tourists. Based on this assumption the authors of the article give modern official data concerning the number of specially protected areas of different types in Russia as main destinations of ecotourism. The article presents the diagrams showing the quantitative characteristics of the infrastructure for ecotourists in specially protected areas: visitor centers, museums, ecological paths and routes. The dynamics of tourist arrivals in the reserves and national parks of Russia for the period 2001-2016 years is analyzed. In the final part of the article the main problems of eco-tourists recording are identified.
