The subject of this research is the legal regime of natural resource management in the Canadian Kingdom as an example of one of the best sectoral practices of legal regulation of natural resource usage. Analysis is conducted on the normative legal acts that regulate rights to natural resource usage, delimitation of jurisdiction to “central” and “regional”, management in the area of natural resource. The object of this research is the natural resource usage relations in Canada. Special attention is given to the licensing of Canadian natural resource usage, determination of the types of licenses, and procedure of licensing. The author examines the relevant topics of taxation and fiscal stimulation of natural resource users, foreign investment, geological exploration, national and local legislation, right of indigenous peoples to natural resources, etc. The scientific novelty consists in demonstrating the current “picture” of legal regulation of natural resource usage in Canada. On the example of this kingdom, as the subject of right to ownership and use of resources, the author suggest considering an allotted plot of resources within its boundaries, while unallocated plots of resources should be counted as part of a single reserve of undistributed land (single object of law). The author proposes to conduct a mass geological survey of the Russian shelf in accordance with the Canadian model, implementation of the practice of attracting foreign investments, tax incentives, resource rent for the Russian citizens through legal construct of retirement savings, application of corporate restrictions following the example of Canada.

The subject of this article is the legal regime for natural resource in the United Mexican States. The author examines the system and structure of government branches in the area natural resource management. Special attention is given to the questions of ownership of the subsoil, allocation of powers for their administration to the federation, and foreign investment to fuel and energy complex of Russia. The object of this research is the relations in the area of natural resource management in Mexico. The author describes the users of subsoil and the procedure of accessing natural resource management, addresses the questions of taxation with regards to usage of mineral deposits, traces the trends in Mexican natural resource law in part of regulating the development of strategic sites. The main conclusion consists in the statement that constitutional consolidation of ownership of the mineral resources along with natural resources, and the authority of their management allocated to the “center” in federate and confederate states meets rather national interests and ensures protection of economic grounds of the country, security and inviolability of the constitutional order. The scientific novelty of this work consists in demonstration to the audience of “cross-section of the side track of the Mexican tree of natural resource law". The “rings on a fresh cut” give an idea on the development of this branch of law, its current state, “vectors for expansion”, as well as possess substantial originality. The author suggests “nationalization of natural resource management” within the framework of its pursuit of factual Unitarianism, leaving de jure federalism as an opportunity for historical reunification with the lost territories.

The authors of the article substantiate the necessity of developing a methodological base for an economic appraisal of a tourist and recreation system, natural-resource-management-driven methods for creating a cluster and logistic structure. The authors also emphasize the importance of a natural resources inventory for the practices of natural resource rent, ecological certification, a tourist service consumer classification, and a classification of coordinating controlling systems. The current practices of territorial municipal and federal administration determine the economic risks of investing into a complex programme of the tourist sector economic development and the economic effectiveness, as well as the lines, of ecological monitoring. Efficient territorial administration in the course of tourist cluster creation is seen by the authors as impossible without a development of a scientifically valid methodology for economic efficiency assessment of the potential unlocked by an integrated/multipurpose utilization of territorialrecreational systems of federal and municipal taxonomies. A major line of research is an ROI study of investing into complex environmental action programmes. According to the methodology considered in the article, tourist potential can be evaluated against such criteria as the resource validity for a recreational activity (technological evaluation), the degree of comfort, functioning, and creation of a natural-resource-management-driven cluster-logistic structure in urbanized areas (physiological evaluation), the degree of visual appeal (aesthetical evaluation), the uniqueness and quality of a resource (value assessment), the potential of a resource to generate tourist traffic (self-sufficiency evaluation), and capacity evaluation of the complexity of tourist resources, especially of their transport infrastructure.

<p class="apa">The aim of the present study is to investigate the teaching techniques applied, as well as the difficulties, with which educators in teaching Natural Resource Management are confronted. For research purposes, a case study was conducted on teaching Natural Resource Management in the Third Grade of Vocational Lyceum (EPAL) in Northern Greece. It was established that the teachers of the aforementioned subject make use of a range of experiential and active teaching techniques. On the other hand, the major difficulty faced by teachers is the lack of updated textbooks and training on the subject.</p>

Abstract Ecology is a science that studies the mutual interactions between organisms and their environment. The fundamental subject of interest in ecology is the individual. Topics of interest to ecologists include the diversity, distribution and number of particular organisms, as well as cooperation and competition between organisms, both within and among ecosystems. Today, ecology is a multidisciplinary science. This is particularly true when the subject of interest is the ecosystem or biosphere, which requires the knowledge and input of biologists, chemists, physicists, geologists, geographists, climatologists, hydrologists and many other experts. Ecology is applied in a science of restoration, repairing disturbed sites through human intervention, in natural resource management, and in environmental impact assessments.
