System of protected nature territories as answer to threats.

Kamchatka is a vast area with

relatively small permanent population

Two thirds of this population

are concentrated in Petropavlovsk agglomeration

Results of anthropogenic impact are typical for towns.

They are pollution of air and water, degradation of soils, concentration of industrial waste

Kamchatka is rich in mineral resources:

gold, gas, oil, coal, copper and other

Geological activities were rather damaging to the environment.

Many roads were constructed destroying tundra, rivers and spawning grounds

Sometimes fuel was spilt over the ground.

Timber cutting was also very extensive, because animals habitats were destroyed, rivers and streams got polluted

Every year the problems of environment conservation are becoming more and more actual

Another threat to the nature is poaching and overfishing.

Nature of kamchatka is unique,

and we must save it
