Why do we need nature reserves and national parks? 1. Reserves and national parks preserve wildlife, save species diversity from extinction, preserve the natural heritage of the country and the whole world. 2. Areas of great importance for the preservation of cultural heritage are protected in nature reserves and national parks. 3. The protective regime of reserves and national parks ensures the purity of water, fresh air and saves other vital resources. 4. The nature of nature reserves and national parks is a repository of natural genetic material (species biological diversity). 5. Preservation of a healthy environment for people's lives. 6. Reserves and national parks make a significant contribution to the development of science, environmental education of the population, and the development of civil society. 7. Biosphere models created on the basis of nature reserves and national parks demonstrate the possibility of human development in harmony with nature. 8. Raising funds for the economy of areas adjacent to nature reserves and national parks, first of all, the development of ecological tourism, ecological trails and routes, as well as the initiation of programs that combine the interests of society and nature. 9. The territory of reserves and national parks - places where people can join the values ​​of pristine nature, the spiritual values ​​of their nation and all of humanity. 10. Networks of reserves and national parks and the education system - an effective partnership for the formation of an ecological culture of society.

How many national parks and reserves are there? Currently, there are more than a thousand national parks and tens of thousands of protected areas in the world. According to rough estimates, there are about 70,000 of them, and they occupy approximately 10% of the entire land. In Russia, there are 101 nature reserves and 43 national parks, which together cover an area of ​​sq. km (about 2% of the area of ​​the Russian Federation).

The first national parks The first state reserves that protected natural communities appeared in the 16th century. However, the first national park was opened only at the end of the 19th century, in the USA. This really high honor was awarded to the unique Yellowstone Plateau, rich in geysers and hot mineral springs, where Yellowstone National Park was opened in 1872. Translated from English, it means yellow stone. In the beginning, national parks were created as a place to enjoy. In them, a person could strengthen his body, refresh his mind and heal his soul. In 1916, the National Park Service was created in the United States. Such US national parks as the Grand Canyon, Jasper, Olympic and others are now well known outside of North America.

The first national park in the USSR, Lahemaa, was founded in 1971 in the Estonian SSR. In the future, the list of protected areas has expanded. In the following years, the status of national parks was granted to: Sochi National Park, Losiny Ostrov (1983); "Samarskaya Luka" (1984); "Mary Chodra" (1985); Pribaikalsky National Park, Zabaikalsky National Park, "Prielbrusye", "Bashkiria" (1986). The last to be added to the list were: in January 2008 "Buzuluksky Bor", in June 2009 "Russian Arctic", in January 2013 "Beringia", in March 2013 "Onega Pomorie". According to the laws of the Russian Federation, national parks are one of the types of specially protected natural areas (SPNA).

The first reserve on the territory of Russia Barguzinsky reserve was founded on January 11, 1917 on the territory of Buryatia. In the future, the list of protected areas has expanded. The oldest reserves, in addition to Barguzinsky, are Astrakhansky (1919), Ilmensky (1920) and Caucasian (1924). The Erzi (2000), Kologrivsky Les (2006) and Utrish (2010) reserves were the last to be included in the list. In accordance with the action plan for the implementation of the "Concept for the development of a system of specially protected natural areas of federal significance for the period up to 2020", it is planned to create 11 new reserves in the years, 2 of them (Ingermanlandsky and Shaitan-Tau) in 2012. The total area of ​​nature reserves in Russia is more than 340 thousand km², which is comparable to the territory of Finland. The largest of the Russian reserves are the Great Arctic (over 41 thousand km²), Komandorsky (over 36 thousand km²) and Wrangel Island (over 22 thousand km²). The smallest nature reserves in Russia are Belogorye (more than 21 km²) and Prioksko-Terrasny and Galichya Gora (both less than 50 km²). Most of the reserves are located on the territory of the Krasnoyarsk (7), Primorsky (6) and Khabarovsk (6) regions.

Sochi National Park was established in 1983 and became one of the first national parks in Russia. On a vast territory in the mountains, the size of which reaches 190 thousand hectares, any production activity was stopped. This land was transferred to the citizens of Russia for health and tourism purposes. Sochi National Park is located in the south of the Krasnodar Territory, north of Sochi, in the foothills of the Greater Caucasus. Most of the territory of the park is occupied by mountains, dissected by river valleys. The foothill zone occupies a narrow strip along the Black Sea.

About 40 rivers and streams of the Black Sea basin flow through the territory of the Sochi National Park. Their length is small, only such rivers as Mzymta, Psou and Shahe are more than 50 kilometers long. Rivers and streams have a large number of waterfalls and canyons. The waterfalls are mainly located in the upper reaches of the rivers, 103 waterfalls with a threshold height of 2 to 73 meters are available for visiting.

The territory of the park itself is unique, because nowhere in Russia subtropics and highlands coexist so closely. That is why the mountainous Black Sea region is characterized by the most complex range of altitudinal zones in our country - from mountain broad-leaved forests at the foothills through mountain beech and coniferous forests to subalpine landscapes and high mountains with exposed rocks and snow. The territory of the Sochi National Park belongs to the Colchis forest province with a very rich and diverse flora.

In the Sochi National Park there are about 1500 species of native higher plants, of which 164 species are classified as trees, shrubs, semi-shrubs and lianas, and all the rest are classified as herbaceous plants. The number of relict breeds and endemics is large. The yew berry is included in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, which is often found in the Sochi National Park. And 51 species of plants are listed in the Red Book of Russia, including yew berry, Pitsunda pine, 2 species of snowdrops, 3 species of fingerheads, 3 species of ophryses, 9 species of thrushes, Colchis boxwood, Caucasian lily, Caucasian lyon and others.

The fauna of the Sochi National Park includes about 80 species of mammals, about 120 species of birds, 17 species of reptiles, 9 species of amphibians, 21 species of fish. 15 species of animals are included in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, including leopard, corncrake, quail, Caucasian viper, Colchis snake, Colchis toad and others. Of those species of animals that are listed in the Red Book of Russia, 10 species of mammals, 9 species of birds, 4 species of reptiles, 5 species of amphibians, 3 species of annelids, from fish - trout and Ukrainian lamprey.

On the territory of the Sochi National Park there are 114 monuments of history and culture - these are the sites of ancient people, settlements, dolmen structures, well-shaped tombs, the remains of fortresses, temples, burial mounds, a sacrificial stone, obelisks and military monuments.

The idea of ​​creating a national park appeared in 1909. In 1934, Losiny Ostrov was included in the 50-kilometer "green belt" around Moscow. Most of the forest was cut down during the Great Patriotic War. In 1979, by a joint decision of the Moscow City and Regional Councils of People's Deputies, Losiny Ostrov was transformed into a natural park, and on August 24, 1983, a national park was formed by a decision of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR.

The Elbrus area today is one of the most significant mountain natural monuments of the Caucasus. This is an area of ​​unique landscape, where the mountains have become a cradle and a haven for many species of plants and animals, and to preserve it is an integral task of the state. For this purpose, on September 22, 1986, the Elbrus National Park was created here.

The park is located in the mid-mountain and high-mountain zones of the Lateral and Main Ranges of the Central Caucasus, on the territories of two administrative regions of the KBR - Elbrussky and Zolsky. Its total area is more than one hundred thousand hectares. 62 percent of it falls on hard-to-reach terrain: rocks, glaciers, snow fields.

As for the flora and fauna, it also has its own characteristics. Mount Elbrus, whose peaks are covered with solid firn (dense granular snow) and ice caps, serves as a powerful refrigerator that dries up the surroundings. Therefore, spruce and fir, which love moisture, do not grow in the Elbrus region, but pine, birch, aspen and some other deciduous plant species predominate. The main type of vegetation cover is meadows. And the slopes of the mountains are covered with a dark green carpet of rhododendrons, whose pink and white flowers bloom every summer.

The Barguzinsky Reserve is a reserve in Buryatia, located on the western slopes of the Barguzinsky Range at altitudes up to 2840 m above sea level. m., includes the northeastern coast of Lake Baikal and part of the water area of ​​the lake itself. The reserve and the ridge are named after the Barguzin River.

The reserve was established in 1916 to preserve and increase the population of the Barguzin sable (Martes zibellina). At the time of its foundation, there were only about sable individuals on the entire territory of the current reserve, currently 1-2 individuals per 1 km² of cedar forest. The historical center is the village of Davsha, since 1999 the administration has been located in the village of Nizhneangarsk.

All natural complexes are preserved in the reserve. Elk, musk deer, white hare, brown bear, shrew, black-capped marmot live in the Barguzinsky Reserve, 41 species of mammals in total. In the waters of the reserve there are Baikal omul, whitefish, sturgeon, grayling, taimen, lenok and other fish species. Since 1986, it has been a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

The Astrakhan Biosphere Reserve consists of three sections - Damchiksky, Trekhizbinsky and Obzhorovsky. Their territory is located within the borders of Kamyzyaksky, Ikryaninsky and Volodarsky districts of the Astrakhan region. The total area of ​​the reserve ha. Marine area ha. Security zone - ha.

The reserve was founded in 1919. In 1975, it became part of the Volga River Delta wetland, which is of international importance as a habitat for waterfowl under the Ramsar Convention of 1971. In 1984, it was included in the worldwide network of biosphere reserves of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Program.

The Caucasian State Natural Biosphere Reserve is located on the northern and southern slopes of the Western Caucasus in the coordinates of ° north latitude and ° east longitude. Actually, this territory was declared a reserve on May 12, 1924, but the history of the preservation of a unique natural complex began much earlier, from the moment the Grand Duke's "Kuban hunting" was organized in 1888.

Being the largest protected area of ​​the Caucasian Isthmus and the second largest in Europe, the reserve occupies the lands of the Krasnodar Territory, the Republic of Adygea and the Karachay-Cherkess Republic of the Russian Federation, closely adjacent to the state border with Abkhazia. Separated from the main territory, in the Khostinsky district of Sochi, there is a subtropical Khostinsky department of the reserve - the world-famous yew-boxwood grove, with an area of ​​302 hectares. The total area of ​​the reserve ha. It is surrounded by a protected zone, numerous reserves and natural monuments, and the Sochi National Park adjoins its southern border.

The Caucasian Reserve is the richest treasury of biodiversity, which has no analogues in Russia. It has an international reference value as a site of untouched nature that has preserved pristine landscapes with unique flora and fauna. It is no coincidence that in 1979 the reserve was awarded a Certificate of inclusion in the World Natural Heritage List. The reserve received the status of a biosphere reserve and was included in the International Network of Biosphere Reserves, and in December 1999 it was included in the list of UNESCO World Natural Heritage Sites.

Reserve SIKHOTE - ALINSKY (Russia) The initial goal of the reserve was to preserve and restore the sable, which was almost exterminated at that time. The well-known explorer of the region V. K. Arseniev stood at the origins of the creation. Now more than 1100 species of plants grow on the territory of the reserve, including 38 rare and endangered species (spiky yew, high lure, Fori rhododendron, real slipper). 63 species of terrestrial mammals live here, including Red Book species: Amur tiger (21-29 individuals), goral (about 150 individuals), spotted deer (individuals), Himalayan bear. 342 species of birds, 8 species of reptiles, 5 species of amphibians, 32 species of freshwater fish have been registered. Of great importance is the conservation of fauna and flora in two areas of the marine area.

The SIKHOTE-ALIN State Natural Biosphere Reserve (territory area ha, sea area 2.9 thousand ha) is located in the northern part of Primorsky Krai (Terneisky and Krasnoarmeysky districts) and includes the eastern slope of the Sikhote-Alin ridge from its watershed (the highest altitude within the reserve is 1598 m above sea level) to the coast (including the coastal strip of the sea 1 km wide), as well as part of the western slope of the ridge. The reserve includes parts of three landscape districts: Terneisky (cedar-broad-leaved forests), Samargino-Dalnegorsky (in the subzone of broad-leaved-coniferous forests) and Sredne-Sikhote-Alinsky (fir-spruce forests) in the taiga subzone.

The area of ​​Yellowstone National Park is about 900,000 hectares. The park is located in Wyoming (USA). In this area are the sources of the largest rivers in North America: Snake, Missouri, Yellowstone, flowing from the alpine lake of the same name. The lake adjoins the Central Plateau from the south. The height of the Yellowstone Plateau ranges from 1710 m (in the north) to 3463 m (in the central part of the park). In the northern part of the park there is the Blacktaildier and Mirror Plateau, in the southeast - the Two Oceans Plateau. Yellowstone is home to over 10,000 geothermal natural wonders. The Continental Divide runs along the high plateau of the Rocky Mountains. From here, rivers flow both to the east and to the west, but part of the water seeps into the depths. This explains the amazing natural phenomena of Yellowstone. The plateau was once shaken by powerful volcanic eruptions. Thousands of years ago, as a result of one of them, a giant crater 75 kilometers long and 45 kilometers wide was formed. Molten rock - still "does not sleep" under the earth's crust, maintaining the heat in the Yellowstone "cauldron".
