live on the Yamal. Now let me explain: Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is
situated in the North of Western Siberia, in the Tyumen region, between
Baidaratskaya lips and the Ob of the Kara sea. Its length is 750 km, width of
240 km, an area of 122 km2. The
nature and structure of the permafrost soil with layers and veins of
underground ice, lying on the Yamal Peninsula, have no analogues neither in our
country nor abroad. Maximum
often exceeds 300 m. there are many lakes, many rivers, rich in delicious fish
such as whitefish, whitefish, and in the Ob Bay is home to Beluga and seal. In
the vast tundra in the North, in the forest-tundra in the South – the abundance
of various animals and birds.
On
the Yamal Peninsula are inhabited and those that are rare and listed in the Red
book: the Atlantic walrus, peregrine Falcon, Gyrfalcon, white-billed diver,
lesser Swan, red-breasted goose, Siberian crane. Now an attempt to preserve the
richness of our national wealth, which belongs also to all mankind. Created by
Zoological reserve with the area of 1 million 400 thousand hectares.
But
how to protect it, if there are routes of gas pipelines and Railways? How to
develop reindeer herding, fishing, hunting on Fox, the main economic activities
of the natives? In my work I have tried to consider these issues, identify the
main causes of ecological problems of the Northern territories and show how
they are solved.
Human
intervention in nature in the North has many consequences that are not taken
into account when intervention in nature, cause negative changes in the
environment. This is especially true of exploration, construction, operational
works for the development of mineral resources of the Yamal Peninsula. Any
change in the human environment: air pollution, soil, poor water quality, the
disappearance of forests and shrubs, a reduction in species diversity of
animals and birds leads to disaster vulnerable nature of the North. Forest
Fund district composed of pre-tundra and taiga forests located in the zone of
forest tundra, sparse taiga sub-zones and subzones Northern taiga. The greatest
specific weight in the area of forest Fund lands assigned sub-tundra forests,
falls on treeless space: swamps, rocky sediments. In sub-tundra forests
dominated by conifers. Of
which about 70% are larch. These forests represented 70% Mature and overmature
plantations, which are unproductive. In 1990, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous
district was burnt about 14,000 km2 of reindeer moss. Under the current
environmental management practices by 2010 can be broken ecosystems on 20 – 30%
of the Arctic areas, comprising substantially all of the territory of their
active development. The
district has one reserve upper Taz, the number of wildlife areas of Republican
and local importance. The total area of the protected area is not much more
than 4 million hectares. Due to the lack of sufficient funding, they are
practically not protected. Verkhne - Tazovsky reserve is forced to remove a
number of cordons. To
mitigate the adverse impacts on reindeer, in addition to conventional security
measures, it is necessary to strengthen the control on the migration paths of
the deer. You must comply with the existing rules of hunting and the
introduction of additional (a ban of shooting of migratory deer on the
transitions through communication, prevention of ejection from vehicles),
construction in areas where communications create mechanical obstacles to the
movement of nomadic reindeer special devices (embankments, transitions) to
facilitate the overcoming of these obstacles, animals.
