| description | The Yamal region occupies the fifth part of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District. Therefore it is one of the territories where
traditional natural resource management is mainly developing. Its key branches are reindeer herding and fisheries. The major
problems in the development of industries are due to an active industrial and transport exploitation of the tundra zone; the
situation in reindeer husbandry caused by pasture overgrazing because of uncontrolled increase in livestock; poaching fish. Two
following anthropogenic factors have a negative impact on soil and vegetation in the Yamal region: reindeer herding as the main
traditional form of natural resource management of Small Indigenous People of the North (SIPN) and the intensive industryrelated
development of the territory (geological exploration, industry, transport, construction). Since grazing is practiced
throughout the whole Yamal Peninsula, which is not occupied by industrial zones, it is the most widespread form of natural
resource use and the leading factor of anthropogenic impact on Yamal’s natural territorial complexes. The primary reason for
the decline in fish resources is the violation of the ecosystemic reproduction of fish resources due to their excessive catch. One of
the main reasons of this is poaching. In turn, the annual increase of surplus catch is caused by the population growth, including
SIPN, and the growing density of the road network providing the access to fishing grounds. The article offers the guidelines for
economic damage assessment determined by the harm to the pasture resources. The authors justify the amount of compensation
that repairs losses arising from their damage, which takes into account the decline in the productivity of land and the period
of restoration of the economic and biological potential of pastures for the corresponding periods of years (compensation for
economic damage). The economic damage assessment of the fish resources supposes taking into account the decline in their
economic value. It involves the use of a refined population-biological approach while the detailed calculation. In addition, we
give an example of the guidelines’ approbation. |
