Zakaznik
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zakazniks are a type of Russian protected area that meet World Conservation Union's (IUCN) category III, or more frequently category VII criteria. Zakazniki are the areas where temporary, or permanent limitations are placed upon certain on-site economic activities (e.g., logging, mining, grazing, hunting, etc.).
Many of the Zakazniki have traditionally been managed for game species. Some protect complex ecosystems, colonies of birds, or populations of rare plants. They range in size from 0.5 up to 6,000,000 ha.
