Problems and prospects of interregional cooperation in the field of development of specially protected areas
The article discusses the issues of interregional cooperation in the field of development of specially protected natural areas, which in recent years have become widely discussed around the world. Russia, in this sense, is no exception, as its feature is the presence of large areas of protected areas. However, society needs to understand how important it is to preserve nature for future generations, because the most important resource in determining his well-being, is today the natural heritage. The purpose of the study is to identify the main problems and prospects of interregional cooperation in the field of development of specially protected natural territories. In modern times human intervention in the environment leaves a significant mark, less to become territories that were able to maintain their beauty and originality. In order to preserve the original appearance and beauty of such areas the government adopted various measures, one of which is the creation of specially protected natural territories. Protected areas play a huge role in preserving landscape and biological diversity. The study found that unrealized recreational and eco-educational potential of protected natural areas contributes not only to sustainable socio-economic development but also preserving the biodiversity of such areas. The most important condition for the preservation of natural and cultural heritage, as well as the main factor of development of especially protected natural territories is a stable system of inter-regional cooperation in the field of development of specially protected natural territories. In conclusion, the authors noted that to overcome the challenges of the modern world today, it becomes obvious how important it is to combine the efforts of government, business, science and society. The use of various forms of interregional cooperation in the field of development of specially protected natural territories, in turn, will stimulate the development of science, technology, training of qualified personnel for sustainable development of specially protected natural territories. Furthermore, the use of inter-regional cooperation in the field of development of specially protected natural territories underlines the need for interaction between environmental and economic policy. This approach will allow to identify potential sources of economic growth, without impacting the quantity and quality of natural resources.
