Special features of the border approval procedure when zoning specially protected natural areas in the Republic of the Congo
This is the first study that examines the possibility of establishing boundaries in the territory zoning of the Congo natural landscapes, which are characterized by a variety of natural ecosystems, cultural and ethnographic peculiarities of indigenous peoples living of the areas and the spread of mineral deposits with industrial production areas on these lands. These are specially protected natural areas. The article provides a number of particular issues of the procedure to approve the boundaries of the protected areas in the Republic of Congo, which are seldom defined and fixed in the field. The author of the article reveals the regulatory legal acts of the Republic of the Congo on the protected areas, modern technical capacities, geodetic measurement methods, and proposes to develop the procedure for delimiting protected areas. The procedure for establishing the boundaries includes building a plan and describing the location of the boundaries, coordinating and clarifying the boundaries, expertise, approving the proposed boundary, and other actions. Every step is supplied by necessary documents.
