The present paper provides the concept of self-renewing of ecosystems. It is shown that multidimensionality and mutual exclusion of individual components of the environment make the problem of optimization, i.e. achieving the conditions of sustainable development, too difficult. However, the goal of sustainable nature management is possible with the existence of ecosystem properties for self-renewal due to the presence of cyclical processes, ecological capacity, migration capabilities of ecosystem components and pollutants metabolism, as well as the use of waste-free and energy-saving technologies. It is proposed to model the ecosystem in the form of the “eight”, which reflects it as a closed cyclic system able for adaptation. When analyzing such a complex system, the following principles should be followed: simplification; consideration of processes in dynamics; considering the possibility of ambiguity, incompleteness and inaccuracy of information; using a risk-based approach to impact assessment; understanding the system as a hierarchical structure able for adaptation and development. It is noted that all local ecosystems in the region are interconnected and affect the characteristics of neighboring local ecosystems, usually requiring the adjustment of resources and connections.
