SECTION VIII. Final provisions

Article 21. Entry into force of this Law
This Law shall enter into force on the day of its official publication.

Governor of the Sakhalin Region I.P. Farkhutdinov
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. October 2, 2000. No. 214.

Newspaper "Gubernskiye Vedomosti", No. 197(1099), 10.10.00.

Modern man looks at the world through a screen. It's kind of an average estimate. Agree, not everyone has the means to travel. And the world is so amazing! So we are studying it through a computer, since now it's easy. However, is it possible in this way to feel the thrill in the soul, which necessarily arises from the contemplation of the stunning corners of the planet? Take, for example, the Kuril Reserve. Whoever was there will confirm: no films or photographs will reflect the magical essence of this extraordinary place.

Location and climate

The Kuril Reserve occupies a considerable area (65,365 ha).

It consists of three islands. These are Kunashir, Demina and Shards. The first of them belongs to the Great Kuril Ridge and is the largest in area. The islands are the product of volcanic activity. The terrain here is mountainous, there are rivers and lakes. The Kuril Reserve is famous for its mineral springs. Interestingly, they all differ in chemical composition, temperature regime. The most famous are the Tretyakov, Alekhinsky and Golovninsky. Since the Kuril Islands are formed by volcanic activity, the relief is mountainous. The rivers here are small, no more than twenty kilometers. Most of of which is spawning. The largest is Tyatina (Kunashir). It flows directly along the Dokuchaev volcanic ridge. This part of the reserve is mountainous. And to the north it becomes hilly. The largest in the reserve is also located there. Such an almost clerical description, of course, does not convey the magnificence of this place. We add that the climate here is very mild. Winter does not scare with frost, and summer - with heat. The only factor that is sure not to please a person is the monsoons. Winds and hurricanes the Kuril Reserve endures steadfastly, responding only with a slight rise in water in the rivers.

A bit of history

Already from the dry description given above, it is clear that the Kuril Islands are the richest region. You haven't read about the flora and fauna yet! How did he survive among the storms and troubles that have befallen Russia in recent centuries?

There were people who didn't care. Work on the creation of a protected area began in 1947. Many prominent scientists spoke about the need to protect this original, magical place from destruction. The project of the reserve was created in 1975. Moreover, this event took place after the signing of an agreement with Japan on the protection of nesting sites and habitats of migratory birds. Further, the territory of the buffer zone expanded. In its present form, it was formed in 1984. And, remarkably, the subsequent devastation in Russia in the nineties did not negative impact to these territories. The reserve has been saved!

Nature

Reserves, as you know, are different. The purpose of their creation is the same - to preserve the originality of a corner of magnificent nature. So that the activities of greedy humanity are not reflected in the wealth created long before our appearance in this world. On the Kuril Islands there is something to be proud of and something to protect. Mostly the area is wooded. For the most part grow conifers. But how surprising among the cedars and firs to see quite a tropical creeper! This is just a miracle. Scientists have calculated that there are only ten percent of hardwood in the reserve. But they are so peculiarly woven into the taiga landscapes that they make this area uniquely beautiful. And in the forest clearings, the bamboo plant takes up space from the trees, forming impenetrable thickets. The grasses in the lowlands reach a height of four to five meters. Where else have you seen this? Kunashir is not associated with it. Because of this, very rare plant species have been preserved on its hills and mountains. Here the so-called vertical zonality can be traced. That is, the nature of the vegetation changes as you move up the mountains. If you go from the shore, then broad-leaved and coniferous forests are replaced at first by fir, then by stone birch forests, then by elfin cedar. There is something to admire, dying in admiration.

Fauna

It seems that the region cut off from the mainland cannot be densely populated. However, this is a mistake. Let's not list the numbers. It should only be noted that the animal has not yet been fully studied! The science for a long time was sure of the similarity, for example, of insects in the Kuril Islands with species living in Japan. Only in last years it turned out that there are also their own endemics. Today there are 37 of them. They are widely represented in the reserve. sea ​​shellfish. They are found along the coast and in lakes. That is, freshwater species are also represented. Pearl mollusks are listed in the Red Book.

Kunashir is also proud of its salmon. Here spawns the largest in all Far East pink salmon, and the Kuril chum salmon leads the world in size. Amphibian lovers also have something to see. Three species of frogs live in Kunashir. There are also unusual reptiles here. For example, only in the reserve you can meet the Far Eastern skink (lizard). This species does not live anywhere else in Russia.

Birds and mammals

Birds of the reserve - a special conversation. The fact is that the Kuril Islands are important on a planetary scale. They are a resting place. Hundreds of thousands of feathered travelers find shelter and food here. Without this corner, the planet would lose many rare species. Let's take a look at some statistics. In total, 278 species of birds can be found in the reserve, and 125 species live permanently. When winter comes to the Southern Hemisphere, birds fly to the local shores. For example, loons and cormorants, swans and puffin rhinos are found here. Only ornithologists will understand this multi-colored and loud world. We add that the protection of the reserve is truly of planetary importance. The islands are a significant point on the map of the feathered world. Should add a few amazing facts. Do you know that there are fisher owls? This rare species nests in the reserve. Even here you can also meet those considered to be endangered. Among large animals, sable, chipmunk, weasel and even mink should be indicated. These animals breed safely in Kunashir.

The significance of the reserve

Even from a short text it is already clear that this world is unique. People are trying to understand what kind of reserves there are, what is interesting in them, what to admire. In fact, not only natural beauties and rare animals are important. The wisdom and work of those who take care of these incredible corners of pristine nature, thereby allowing the planet to survive, despite the activities of mankind, should be appreciated.

The water surface and the air space above them, where natural complexes and objects are located that have special environmental, scientific, cultural, aesthetic, recreational and health significance, which are withdrawn by decisions of state authorities in whole or in part from economic use and for which a regime of special protection has been established.

Specially protected natural territories are objects of national heritage.

In Russia, the most important legislative act regulating relations in the field of organization, protection and use of protected areas is the Federal Law "On Specially Protected Natural Territories", adopted State Duma February 15, 1995.

If you look into the history of the protection of some natural objects, then Peter I issued a decree banning the shooting of elk in the St. Petersburg province. However modern system The protected area originates from the creation in the USA of the world's first national park "Yellowstone" (1872). In Russia, the system of protected areas has been formed for more than 80 years. One of the first was the Barguzinsky Reserve, founded on Baikal in 1916. By the end of 1998, this system included 99 nature reserves, 34 national parks, about 1,600 state reserves and more than 8,000 natural monuments.

State nature reserve (full reserve) is the most stringent form of territorial nature protection. It represents, firstly, a territory completely withdrawn from economic use, and secondly, research institutions aimed at preserving and studying the natural course of natural processes and phenomena. Only scientific, security and control activities are allowed in the reserve, and in exceptional cases - the organization of educational and ecological routes. Sometimes even the cleaning of fallen and dead trees is prohibited, which violates the natural development of natural processes.


From total number reserves, biosphere reserves, included in international system biosphere reserves and carrying out global environmental monitoring. In Russia, about 20% of reserves have such an international status, including Prioksko-Terrasny, located not far from Moscow.

In addition to territories that are completely closed to the public, it is also necessary to create territories available for controlled visits. World experience says that the main thing for nature protection now is the education of environmentally literate people, especially the younger generation.

national park - this is a vast territory (from several thousand to several million hectares), including both completely protected areas and areas intended for recreation, recreation, nearby tourism, and promotion of environmental knowledge. One of the famous national parks in Russia is Elk Island(Moscow).

Reserve- this is natural complex designed to preserve some types of natural resources with limited use of others. In areas occupied by wildlife sanctuaries, permanently or temporarily prohibited certain types economic activity. For example, any economic activity leading to disturbance of the landscape is prohibited, but hunting may be allowed. Temporary hunting reserves are often created to preserve and restore the number of any species of animals.

Reserves and natural monuments, although they play a positive role in maintaining the ecological balance, they cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Only systemic natural aggregates can be saved, not individual components.

Monuments of nature- these are separate natural objects that have a scientific, aesthetic, cultural or educational value. They can be an unusual spring, a waterfall, a ravine with rare plant species, very old trees that were "witnesses" of any historical events, for example, oaks in the Kolomenskoye estate (Moscow), preserved from the time of Ivan the Terrible.

Depending on the purpose, protected areas may be federally owned and managed, or they may be regional or even municipal property.

The most significant and popular protected areas of the Sakhalin Region are the integrated Kuril State Nature Reserve of federal significance. It is located on the island of Kunashir and the islands of the Lesser Kuril Ridge. The reserve is divided into three independent parts: the Northern Kunashirsky - with the active Rurui volcano and the Tyatya volcano, the South Kunashirsky - with the lakes Hot and Boiling, located in the crater of the Golovin volcano, and the Lesser Kuril ridge, which is a continuation of the Japanese Nemuro Peninsula due to significant denudation. 41 species of plants and 42 representatives of the fauna listed in the Red Book live here. There are also 66 archaeological and ethnographic objects.

The second, no less significant reserve - Poronaysky, is also of federal importance. It is located in the eastern part of Sakhalin. More than 280 species of the animal world live here, among which are such well-known as Brown bear, reindeer, sable. The most important natural attraction of the reserve is Tyuleny Island, where one of the three largest fur seal rookeries in the world is located.



The integrated Nogliki Nature Reserve of regional importance on Sakhalin Island was established in 1998 with the aim of preserving natural ecosystems and populations of rare animal species, including wild reindeer.

No less popular for tourists are the Vostochny State Nature Reserve, where you can engage in volunteer activities to support the natural potential of the region, the highest waterfall in Russia - Ilya Muromets (141 m) in the east of Iturup Island, the Limonite Cascade waterfalls on the Chirip Peninsula, the peak of Mount Chekhov, where thousands of tourists climb every year and local residents. There are also capes and rivers in the southwestern and southeastern parts of Sakhalin Island, where you can swim in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, go diving, fish or look for amber on the coast. On the Kuril Islands, these are numerous bays, capes, rocks with the ruins of ancient Japanese temples, volcanoes for climbing an average level of difficulty, from where an unforgettable view opens up for photo / video shooting and contemplation of untouched nature. Also on the islands there are several sources that can be used for medical purposes: sulfuric acid, thermal, mud.

Most of the protected areas are located on Sakhalin Island, a third - on the Kuril Islands. All protected areas are monitored, studied and protected by rare specimens listed in the Red Book. Nature is the main and ubiquitous attraction of this region, from which we can conclude that the Sakhalin Region is one of the few places on the planet that are relevant for the development of international eco-tourism.
