Abstract
The project provides a brief overview of the current network of specially protected natural areas (SPNA) in the Jewish Autonomous region (JAR). The diversity of plant and animal species is emphasized. Particular attention is paid to the potential use of biological resources and territories for scientific, educational and recreational purposes. It is determined that the key factors for the development of recreational infrastructure within SPNA are the proximity to settlements and logistical accessibility, as well as the presence of well-maintained ecological trails and well-designed excursion routes, which form the regional modern tourism network. It is highlighted that tourism concepts and potential directions for the regional biodiversity integrated use are currently being developed in the JAR.
