Current State of Specially Protected Natural Areas of the Arctic of the Russian Federation

The current state of the system of specially protected natural areas (SPNAs) in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is considered. The necessity of preservation and restoration of the natural environment, awareness of the importance of ecological protection of nature, especially in the conditions of economic globalization is emphasized. The data were processed and analyzed to determine the current state of the SPNA system in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The method of zoning of a 10-kilometer territory adjacent to SPNA of regional significance to determine the objects that may have a negative impact on the state of protected natural complexes is proposed.
