The paper deals with the issue of urban forests in the city of Ivanovo which were saved on the territories of three parks. On the basis of special studies during 2012-2018 the main types of forests have been briefly described. The data on the forest flora are presented (338 species were recorded in the park named after the 1905 Revolution, 235 - in the park named after Stepanov, 217 - in the park Kharinka). The forests are dominated by typical forest species, 5 rare plants preserved ( Epipactis palustris , Eryngium planum , Malaxis monophyllos , Ophioglossum vulgatum , Viola selkirkii ), they are included into the regional Red Data book. There are also old trees of native species. Planting trees, creating lawns and flower beds greatly enriched their flora. In general, the composition and structure of forests are disturbed, weed and ruderal alien species (groups of Acer negundo , Amelanchier spicata , Cerasus vulgaris , Cotoneaster lucidus , Fraxinus pennsylvanica , Malus domestica , Sambucus racemosa , etc.) are noted. Some species ( Cerasus maximowiczii , Crataegus monogyna , Padus pensylvanica , Parthenocissus inserta , Phellodendron amurense , Thladiantha dubia , Telekia speciosa ) belong to the rare invasive plants of the Ivanovo Region. The parks possess the status of specially protected natural areas, they are of great environmental, ecological, scientific and aesthetic value. As a result of the territory zoning of these valuable forest areas they have been assigned to the reserves with a strict protection regime.

A resident of a large city is increasingly in need of a complete rest in the bosom of nature, enjoy the peace and beauty of landscapes. The administration of megacities is concerned about the problems of preserving the natural environment and creating within the city limits a network of recreational areas where recreational activities can be organized. The necessity and importance of establishing a network of specially protected natural areas within the metropolis is not in doubt. But the status of the created nature reserves implies, for the most part, prohibitions and restrictions for the organization of recreational activities. A detailed description of recreational opportunities for the rational use of individual components of the city’s natural environment is presented. The authors conducted a geoecological analysis of the allocation of recreational areas in large cities. Features of nature that should be considered when designing recreational areas in large cities, on example of St. Petersburg, are noted.

The paper examines the features of the international status of "UNESCO Global Geopark" that are important for the development of Russian legislation regulating Geoparks. The criteria for the status of a “UNESCO Global Geopark” that affect the national legal regime of the Geopark include the criterion for the presence of geological objects with a protected status on its territory. The author has analyzed the references to national legislation contained in the criteria for UNESCO Global Geoparks. The paper highlights the differences between the UNESCO Global Geopark, the World Heritage Site and the Biosphere Reserve, analyzes the cases of overlaps between the Geopark concept and the concept of a World Heritage site or a biosphere reserve. Also, the author shows that the term Geopark is extremely rarely used in federal legislation (single strategic planning documents) in the context of the need arising in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to regulate the processes of creation and functioning of Geoparks. The author has proven the connection between the Russian legislation on Geoparks, regardless of the further fate of its development, with the legislation on specially protected natural areas.The author determines four possible types of organization and functioning of geoparks in Russia: 1) a geopark as a tourist and recreational zone; 2) a geopark without a legal regime for a tourist and recreational zone and without a legal regime for a specially protected natural area; 3) a geopark with a legal regime of a specially protected natural area in the form of a state paleontological, mineralogical or geological reserve; 4) a geopark as an independent category of a specially protected natural area approved by regional regulatory legal acts. The author specifically describes the legal regime of each type of the Geopark. The author makes suggestions and recommendations for the development of federal and regional legislation on Geoparks in Russia.

Urban forest is one form of green open space. Urban forests play an important role in maintaining the sustainability of ecological functions in a city. This role could only run optimally with the availability of urban forests. The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of land ownership and analyze the efforts that can be made in maintaining urban forests. This study used image analysis, interviews, and field observations. From the results of this study, the status of urban forests based on the Mayor of Bandar Lampung Decree in 2010 had different statuses at each location. The urban forest ownership does not exclusively belong to the government. Of the 5 locations, only 1 location owned by the Bandar Lampung City Government, with 1 location that is not recognized (problematic), 1 location did not have a certificate of rights yet, and 2 other locations were private locations. The best effort that could be made to maintain the existence of urban forests is to control urban forest land as ownership in the name of the City Government with the support of certain regulations that can be done.

The possibility of determining the prospects for the development of the natural framework using the documents of the master plans on the example of the hero city of Sevastopol is proposed. The published articles on the topic of research, as well as works in related fields on historical, military-political topics, tourism development, environmental safety, and others are analyzed. To determine the changes in the structure of the natural framework, we used a retrospective analysis of the master plans for the period from 1933 to the present. Systematized information about the main elements of the natural framework located on the territory of the city of Sevastopol, which include 14 specially protected natural areas of regional and local significance, including: 1 eco-park, 6 nature reserves and 7 natural monuments, their main characteristics and rating are indicated. In addition to these existing protected areas, a list of promising objects of regional significance is presented. Diagrams of the areas of functional zones, including landscaping zones, whose areas were compared and analyzed, were compiled. Conclusions are drawn on the work done in the article, as well as further recommendations for the development of the natural framework and prospects for further research are described.

The UN Strategy for Sustainable Urban Development was analyzed taking into account different approaches to assessing biodiversity, ecosystem services, anthropogenic factors and climate change. The City Biodiversity Index or Singapore Index on City Biodiversity (CBI) was used to assess the biodiversity of Moscow. The Singapore index comprises three core sections: 1) native biodiversity, 2) ecosystem services, and 3) governance. 21 indicators have been selected. Each indicator has specific evaluation criteria with a maximum score of 4 points. Data from the Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection of the City of Moscow, literature sources and the results of social surveys of parks were used to calculate the index. Indicators including estimates of specially protected natural areas, natural and green areas of the city, the number of native and invasive plant species, the diversity of birds, butterflies and other species were calculated.

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.
