| description | One of the tasks of national
environmental legislation at the present stage
is legal regulation of specially protected natural
areas (hereinafter – SPNA), whose contribution
to biodiversity conservation can hardly be
overestimated. The article considers changes in
the legislation on SPNA and related problems
of functioning of such areas. The article shows
how innovations with serious weakening of the
protective and conservation regime for different
categories of SPNA are becoming increasingly
dangerous for the implementation of the main
function for which the protected area system
of the country is created, i.e., for the purpose of
biodiversity conservation. Particular attention
is paid to changes in «reserved area» legislation
related to the development of tourism within the
boundaries of such territories. Purpose: to analyse
changes in environmental legislation, including
the legislation on SPNA and wildlife, affecting
biodiversity conservation, and to develop
proposals to reduce such impacts. Methods:
empirical methods of comparison and description,
theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic;
specific scientific methods: juridical-dogmatic and
interpretation of legal norms. Results: the article
develops some pr oposals to change the legislation
on SPNA, aimed at minimising damage to natural
complexes and biodiversity conservation when
developing tourism in specially protected areas.
In particular, the article proposes to enshrine in
the Federal Law «On specially protected natural
areas» the concept of geopark as a new category
of regional SPNA, to specify the concepts of
«ecological tourism» and «educational tourism»
as types of tourist activities allowed in SPNA, as
well as to enshrine the mandatory construction
of capital recreational and tourist infrastructure
facilities exclusively in protected areas of SPNA, and in the case of tourism development in SPNA –
the advanced organisation of protection zones
where they are not y et provided. |
