Abstract

This article is devoted to the issues of assessing the ecosystem services of specially protected natural areas (SPNA), the assessment of land, water, biodiversity, forest ecosystems of the state natural park (SNP) "Salkyn-Tor" is determined, and the cost of carbon absorption by forest resources in this park is estimated. The aim of the study is to determine the economic value of ecosystem services in specially protected areas. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to perform the following tasks: analysis of methods for assessing ecosystem services; development of indicators of quantitative and qualitative characteristics;selection of appropriate methods based on the analysis of foreign and domestic approaches to the economic assessment of ecosystem services of the state natural park "Salkyn-Tor" and the determination of the economic value of ecosystem services in the study area; ensuring the safety of residents of the Naryn region and tourists visiting specially protected natural areas of the region; determine the optimal nature management regimes in specially protected natural areas and outline future strategic directions for the study area and ways to increase the value of ecosystem services by developing measures to preserve the biodiversity of ecosystems. Methods used in the study: analysis and synthesis, statistical, graphical methods, surveys and interviews
