There are currently forty-one national parks in Russia, a list of which is given below. Together they cover approximately . ==Overview== The oldest parks in Russia are Sochinsky and Losiny Ostrov (1983); Samarskaya Luka (1984); Mariy Chodra (1985); Bashkiriya, Prielbrusye, Pribaykalsky, and Zabaykalsky (1986).〔Russian Nature Press〕 According to the law on the protected areas of Russia, national parks are areas of land and water devoted to nature protection, ecological education, and scientific research. They contain sites of particular ecological, historical and aesthetic value. Regulated tourism is permitted.〔("About Special Protected Nature Areas" ), a Russian Federation federal law of March 14, 1995.〕〔Biodiversity Conservation Centre Moscow〕 The area of each park is divided into zones according to various functions. There should be a strictly protected area managed as a zapovednik, and also recreational and buffer zones in which economic activity is allowed, such as tourism, traditional land use, and benign forms of agriculture and forestry. The strictly protected function is sometimes fulfilled by a neighbouring official zapovednik; for instance, (Barguzin Zapovednik ) adjoins Zabaykalsky National Park on the east side of Lake Baikal.〔 In 2001 Vodlozersky National Park received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status, followed by Smolenskoye Poozerye and Ugra National Park in 2002, and two others (Valdaysky and Kenozersky) in 2004.〔 The national parks are currently the responsibility of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National parks of Russia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
