    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

  • The Damage to Resources of Traditional Environmental Management and Its Economic Assessment
    UDC 338.14: 502.335.(234.851) V. G. Loginov a), M. N. Ignatieva a, b), V. G. Balashenko a) a) Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of RAS (Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation; e-mail: [email protected]) b) Ural State Mining University (Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation) THE DAMAGE TO RESOURCES OF TRADITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND ITS ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT The Yamalsky district, which accounts for 20 % of the surface area in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, is one of the main territories for traditional environmental management with reindeer husbandry and fishing as its principal economic sectors. These sectors are facing the most acute problems associated with intensive industrial and transport development of the tundra zone, degradation of pastures as a result of overgrazing following an uncontrolled increase in the livestock, and illegal fishing. Two anthropogenic factors have a negative impact on the soil and vegetation in the Yamalsky district — reindeer husbandry as the main traditional form of environmental management for Northern indigenous minorities and intensive man-made development of the territory (geological exploration, industrial activities, transport, construction). Since grazing is carried out across the entire territory of Yamal Peninsula that is not occupied by industrial zones, it is the largest form of environmental management and the leading factor of anthropogenic impact on Yamal’s natural and territorial systems. The primary reason for the decline in fish resources is the disruption of their ecosystemic reproduction as a result of excessive catch caused primarily by illegal fishing. The scale of excessive catch associated with the growing population, including Northern indigenous minorities, and the density of road network to fishing grounds are increasing every year.
