The article examines issues of maintaining specially protected areas in the context of global efforts to conserve biodiversity. Different countries and regions define and designate protected areas differently according to their internal regulations, policies and legislation. In the Russian Federation, despite the importance of the functions performed, the number of protected areas is decreasing due to underfunding for the maintenance of valuable natural objects. Forest conservation within protected areas depends on factors such as local recognition of the importance of protected ecosystems, silvicultural and biological characteristics, the availability of financial support, personnel and protection of the protected area, as well as effective management mechanisms.
