БИОСФЕРНЫЙ ПОЛИГОН ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО ПРИРОДНОГО БИОСФЕРНОГО ЗАПОВЕДНИКА: ПОНЯТИЕ И ПРАВОВОЙ РЕЖИМ
BIOSPHERE POLYGON OF STATE NATURE BIOSPHERE RESERVE: CONCEPT AND LEGAL REGIME

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes an original concept of biosphere polygon. The author defines it as a specially protected natural area, with differentiated regime of protection and use in particular, which is a part of the state nature biosphere reserve formed by land plots newly attached to its territory for the purpose of scientific research, state ecological monitoring, as well as testing and introduction of the methods for sustainable environmental practices that are environmentally friendly and do not deplete biological resources. The conclusion is made that the legal regime of the biosphere polygon in the state nature biosphere reserve is prohibitive-permissible, because only limited economic activity is allowed within the borders of this specially protected natural area and its land plots are involved in the limited civil circulation in special cases. The author’s suggestions for legislative changes and amendments associated with the formation and functioning of biosphere polygons are formulated. Recommendations are made to supplement St. 2 Art. 10 of the Federal Law on Specially Protected Nature Territories with the following P. 2: “The territory of the biosphere polygon may involve only land plots that were newly attached to the territory of the state nature biosphere reserve. It is prohibited to form biosphere polygons out of land plots removed from the state nature biosphere reserve”. It is suggested to legally define the obligation of business persons servicing the objects of recreational, tourist, and sport infrastructures in the territory of the biosphere polygon to conclude joint venture agreements without any profit motives with the federal government agencies responsible for nature reserves.
