WFF program was established in July 2008 and was timed to coincide with the UN declared the International Year of Planet Earth. UN General Assembly declared 2008 the International Year of Planet Earth. In its resolution that "the Year could play a decisive role, particularly in raising public awareness about the importance of sustainable development processes taking place on the Earth and the rational exploitation of its resources, disaster prevention, reduction of poverty and mitigation, capacity building resource management and that it will make an important contribution to the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development United Nations." The General Assembly encouraged all Member States, the United Nations and all other parties to use the Year to increase awareness of the importance of earth sciences for sustainable development and to stimulate action for nature conservation at the local, national, regional and international levels, different countries. Protected areas - a land, water surface and air space above them, which are natural complexes and objects that have special environmental, scientific, Page 3 of 17

4 cultural, aesthetic, recreational and curative value. These territories seized by a public authority wholly or partly of economic use for them have been afforded special protection. Protected areas are sites of national heritage. Federal laws of all countries that have specially protected natural areas, regulate relations in the organization, protection and use of protected areas to preserve the unique and typical natural complexes and objects, remarkable natural formations, flora and fauna, their gene pool, studies natural processes in the biosphere and monitoring the change in its status, the environmental education of the population. According to many scientists, one of the most valuable natural resources in the XXI century. will be kept pristine wilderness areas. They maintained the integrity of natural systems necessary to maintain the ecological balance on Earth. They directly affect the quality of life, are a source of clean water and clean air. The word "health" is associated wonder with wildlife, and we have in mind the nature not covered destructive economic activity and protected in nature reserves, national parks and other protected areas. The number of these areas should steadily expand, if we do not want to lose the most important condition for ensuring the quality of life - clean and safe for the human environment. WFF Foundation adheres to the treatment of protected areas developed by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and the following classifications of protected natural areas: a) Strict Nature Reserve (Strict Nature Reserve) - strict protection in conjunction with the study area; b) Territory Wildlife (Wilderness Area) - strict protection with little or no site visit; c) National Park or Nature Park (National Park, Nature Park) - the conservation of ecosystems in the public access to some areas for recreational purposes; d) Nature Monument (Natural Monument) - save some natural objects (WFF reference issued in exceptional cases); e) Territory control species or habitats (Habitat / Species Management Area) - the conservation of ecosystems and individual species through active management, including in the process of nature; f) Protected Landscape (Protected Landscape / Seascape) - maintenance of land or coastal landscapes in the environmental and recreational purposes; g) The managed resource area (Managed Resource Protected Area) - Sustainable use of natural resources.
