Regular on-site observations in strict nature reserves: the problem of data practical usage

The article provides a brief description of the traditional (Soviet) form of organizing scientific research in nature reserves, which has largely retained its relevance today. In addition to the obvious advantages of this traditional system, the author draws attention to its significant objective disadvantage - the difficulty of practical implementation of the achievements of protected scientists, primarily related to the narrow territorial focus of research on protected areas. Using the example of the results of research on hunting and commercial animals of the Basegi Reserve, a number of possible options for active integration and practical application of the achievements of reserve scientists in socially demanded areas are proposed and analyzed. In particular, the possible role of conservation science in the hunting economy of adjacent territories, environmental education of the general population on the Internet, in the development of cognitive eco-tourism, education, and television is analyzed. Summarizing his own long-term observations and attempts to implement the interaction of protected science with society in these areas, the author draws preliminary conclusions about the possible real number of beneficiaries - people whose lives will acquire significant positive changes as a result of using the achievements of protected scientists.
