GAP analysis and effectiveness

f Protected Areas in Russia

Terrestrial analysis was done in 2009 . Marine analysis for the Arctic seas was done in 2016

current effectiveness
potential effectiveness increasing

by management improvement

potential effectiveness increasing

by removal of all factors

Assessments of the effectiveness

f Protected Areas at National

and Regional levels are repeated.

Protected Areas

11.7% of Russia , more than 13,000 PAs, total area 240 million ha

(area of Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, United Kingdom together) Federal (National) Regional & Municipal

All Protected Areas are managed by the state at the National, Regional or Local levels.

1. species (19 marine mammals, 18 birds, 22 fish)
2. key habitats (129 bridling, feeding, wintering areas, etc.)

New marine PAs creation

20 million hectares of new MPA in the Russian Arctic are under discussion at the different government levels.

Priorities for the future conservation work

The first and most important priority is the conservation of pristine and wild biodiversity by creating new terrestrial, coastal and marine protected areas of IUCN Categories I-IV to ensure 100% representativeness and sufficiency of intact and wild landscapes/seascapes, ecosystems, species, etc. in the National System of Protected Areas of IUCN categories I-IV. (A system for assessing representativeness at the international level should be defined

r chosen so the countries can evaluate their contribution at the international level)

Expanding and improving governance in the areas of IUCN categories V-VI and OCEMs to ensure connectivity, integration into a wider landscape and seascape, adaptation to climate change, and equitable management for local communities.
