Specificity of the process of natural resource conflicts over protected areas, forest and marine resources

The article examines the features of the natural resource conflicts for forest, marine resources and protected areas. The author notes that today the load on other natural resources is greater than on the resources of protected areas, forest and marine resources. The sources of conflicts are described, which show that natural resource conflicts for forest and marine resources are permanent and local, but at the same time, not acute. However, the depletion of mineral, water and land natural resources and population growth will lead to an increase in demand for marine and forest resources, including the resources of protected areas. The growth in demand for the resources under study will become one of the factors in the emergence of internal, transboundary and geopolitical natural resource conflicts.
