Description
Summary:Abstract: The article is devoted to the characteristics of the contemporary state of the protected areas of the Perm Krai (Russia). The zoning of the Perm Krai is identified for the research. In Perm Krai 6 natural areas are allocated: middle taiga, southern taiga, broadleaved-coniferous forests, Kungur forest-steppe, Western Ural, Central Ural.The condition of protected area changes from nondegraded to very severe degraded. The most part of protected areas are nondegraded and very low degraded. The factors of man’s impact on protected areas are determined. Leading factors of anthropogenous influence are creation of forest infrastructure, cabin and recreation. The state of the protected areas according to geographic areas and categories is assessed. According to the protected areas categories the degradation increases in the row: protected landscapes – nature reserves – natural monuments, Species management area – historical-natural object. Territorially the degradation is increasing in the row: middle taiga – south taiga – Western Ural – Central Ural – broadleaved-coniferous forests – Kungur forest steppe.
