Animals of Yakutia as Objects of Ecological Tourism
Abstract
This paper provides a brief overview of the development of ecological tourism in the world, provides information about the first ecological tours, held in Yakutia since the 80-ies of the last century (cruises on the river Lena «Yakutsk–Tiksi», ornithological tours «Yakutsk–Vitim», «Yakutsk–Tiksi», «Yakutsk–Cherskii», entomological tours in Central Yakutia, specialized trips of American, Scandinavian and Japanese scientists in the Delta of the Lena river, the lower reaches of the Indigirka, the Kolyma river in the 90-ies). Special attention is paid to animals as objects of ecological tourism, primarily rare and endangered animal species of Yakutia. The greatest attention is paid to the issues of organization of ornithological tours, which have great prospects. The tours «In the country of white cranes – the sacred bird of the Yakuts and the indigenous minorities of the North», «Arctic bird», «Birds of the mountains and foothills of South Yakutia», «Behind the Siberian grouse and wood-grouse stone in the Aldan highlands», «Birds of Erkeeny valley» and «Amazing Siberian salamander» are suggested. Some tours may attract eco-tourists from Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. It is noted that almost in any district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) one can find places for environmental routes associated with observation of rare species of animals. It is especially convenient to conduct in specially protected territories – reserves and resource reserves.
