By 2020 protected areas in Siberia are represented by all the main categories of various levels of subordination mentioned in the Federal law “On protected areas”, and it also provides for the possibility of creating other categories of protected areas at the discretion of the regions. In particular, in Yakutia there are regional protected areas of the category “resource reserves” and “protected landscapes”, in the Tyumen region – “natural and historical complex” and “environmental monitoring polygon”, which have areas that are important for territorial nature protection. In general, 421 protected areas of the main categories are currently functioning in Siberia, which includes 14 subjects of the Russian Federation, the Siberian federal district and parts of the Far East (the Republics of Sakha(Yakutia) and of Buryatia, the Zabaikalsky kray) and the Ural (Tyumen region with the Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi districts). Of these, 58 protected areas of federal significance (27 reserves, 8 national parks, 23 refuges or zakazniks) and 363 protected areas of regional significance (27 natural parks, 272 zakazniks, 63 resource reserves in Yakutia and 1 environmental monitoring site in the Tyumen region). This article examines the dynamics of the protected areas system in Siberia development. The starting point for this research was the creation Atlases of the “Specially Protected Natural Areas of the Siberian Federal district» and “Specially Protected Natural Areas of the Far East Federal district».
