Nature protection areas of the Republic of Tyva
Abstract
The article focuses on the analysis of the development, landscape representativeness and territorial location of nature protection areas (NPA) of the Republic of Tyva (RT), taking into account the latest changes. The study was based on the system-dialectical approach to the study of protected areas in the process of their formation, functioning and development, as well as the methods of statistical analysis, GIS technologies and methodological approaches developed during the assessment of the representativeness of protected areas in Russia. The following materials were analyzed: data of state institutions of protected areas management of the Republic of Tyva, bibliographic sources, and cartographic materials. In total, 33 nature protection areas were studied, i.e. 2 nature reserves including 1 biosphere reserve, which consists of 9 separate sites; 1 natural park, consisting of 4 sites; 15 nature reserves and 15 natural monuments. The territorial distribution of protected areas was analyzed for 17 administrative districts. The study showed that glacial-nival, alpine and subalpine meadow, tundra and subholz-sparsely wooded landscapes are effectively protected within the existing reserves in Tyva, while forest, forest-steppe, steppe and tundra-cryophyte-steppe landscapes and less effectively protected. Nature protection areas are located unevenly, accounting for 0.3 to 28% of the territory area. The administrative districts could be grouped according to the area of nature protection areas: up to 6%, from 6 to 12%, from 12 to 18%, from 18 to 24%, and from 24 to 30%. Some areas have the greatest diversity of nature protection areas and the greatest recreational value in terms of the presence of aquatic monuments of nature.
Keywords
