“…Incorporating conflicts between biodiversity conservation and threats into the identification of future priority areas for PA expansion would certainly improve the persistence (Gaston et al., 2008) of protected biodiversity and the conservation outcomes of protected sites (Butchart et al., 2015; Xu et al., 2017). Therefore, the PA coverage and the threat severity in identified priority areas must be considered in order to establish PAs in the most appropriate areas, which remains a current challenge (Smirennikova & Ukhanova, 2021; Vale et al., 2018).…”

The post‐2020 Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity calls for an expansion of the current Protected Areas (PAs) to cover at least 30% of global land and water areas by 2030 (i.e., the “30×30 target”). Efficient spatial planning for PA expansion is an urgent need for global conservation practice. A spatial prioritization framework considering multidimensions of biodiversity is critical for improving the efficiency of the spatial planning of PAs, yet remains a current challenge. Here, using species distributions, molecular phylogenies and life history traits of 21536 terrestrial vertebrates, we proposed a FREDGE index that integrates three dimensions of biodiversity (i.e., functional, phylogenetic and taxonomic diversity) and the global endangerment of species. Based on this index we identified the conservation priorities for global terrestrial vertebrates and evaluated the PA coverage and threat severity of these priority areas induced by human footprint and future climate change. We found that Madagascar, Central America and the Andes have high priorities for the conservation of multidimensional biodiversity of terrestrial vertebrates. However, 68.8% of grid cells of these priority areas have <17% of their area covered by PAs, and these priority areas are under intense anthropogenic and climate change threats. These results highlight the difficulties in the conservation of multidimensional biodiversity. Our global analyses on geographical patterns in the multidimensional biodiversity of terrestrial vertebrates demonstrate the insufficiency in the conservation of different biodiversity dimensions, and our new index based on multidimensions of biodiversity provides a useful tool for guiding future spatial prioritization of PA expansion to achieve the “30×30 target” under serious threat pressure.This article is protected by copyright.

Purpose: is to present and to substantiate methodological approaches to comparing the municipalities by income, taking into account the specially protected natural areas (SPNA) located on them.Methods: the clustering method (k-means) is used to differentiate municipalities within groups built according to the SPNAs network scale. The method of full-time formalized interviews is used to compare the tourists` expenses at the SPNA of urban districts. The comparative analysis method is used to compare the economic parameters of municipalities involved in the overall ecotourism project.Results: the authors proposed three methodological approaches to comparing municipalities based on the income of local residents and the municipality as a whole. Within the first approach, characteristics of groups of municipalities formed according to the share of SPNA`s area in the area of the municipality were obtained. The group with the weakest position in terms of budget self-sufficiency is «10.1%– 15.0%», in terms of population changes – «15.1%–20.0%», in terms of residents` income level – «20.1%–30.0%». The second approach made it possible to estimate the income of urban districts from SPNA visits. Under the level of SPNA attendance and the number of tourists, the annual volume of tourist spending on SPNA ranges from 0.1 billion up to 0.5 billion rubles. The comparison of municipalities connected by a single project on SPNA revealed the data on the small businesses development and territory`s tax revenues, as well as the features in the local residents` income level changes.Conclusions and Relevance: the obtained characteristics of groups of municipalities indicate insufficient use of the potential of SPNA to generate income for the local residents (group «20.1%–30.0%») and income for the territory (group «10.1%–15.0%»). Urban districts` SPNA tourist visits can provide a significant revenue base for the municipality, but its volume is not always determined by the SPNA network scale. The development of eco-tourism in rural municipalities makes it possible to reduce the crisis periods` impact on the local budget filling and residents` income.

Introduction. A significant part of Russian territory constitutes remote, inaccessible, poorly developed areas, characterized by low population density. The depressive nature of the socio-economic development of these territories negatively affects the standard of living of the local population, which experiences difficulties with employment, access to socio-cultural benefits, and increasing household incomes. Issues of development of remote territories are interpreted variety in scientific publications and are insufficiently reflected in regional development strategies. The purpose of the study is to analyze the possibility of developing tourism in remote territories with tourist resources, and the role of tourism in increasing the economic activity of these territories. Methods. The research is based on analysis of scientific publications, regional development strategies, formulation and verification of the research hypothesis. Results. The role of tourism in the socio-economic development of remote territories was analyzed using the example of the Primorsky region. The specific recommendations were developed for attracting natives to organize tourism activities. Conclusions. In regions with significant natural resources, ecotourism can develop throughout all or most of the region's territory and contribute to increasing the sustainable development of the region.
