The article analyzes specially protected natural areas located within the borders of Sverdlovsk Oblast. It is noted that 531protected areas are allocated in the region, five of which are federal, 506 are regional and 20 are local. Total area of protectedareas as of 31.12.2020 amounts to 1349.5 thousand hectares, or 6.94% of the total area of Sverdlovsk Oblast.Thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology for Sverdlovsk Oblast, the tourist and recreationalinfrastructure in these areas is actively developing and environmental and educational activities are being carried out, whichcontributes to the development of ecotourism without harming forest ecosystems.Special attention is paid to the creation of ecological routes with tourist infrastructure facilities. The length of the alreadycreated routes is 114 km andthe work to improve the forest parks is underway. The creation of a recreation cluster on the basis of the Shartash ForestPark has begun.The recreational attractiveness of protected areas where ecotourism is carried out is ensured by maintaining proper sanitaryconditions and conducting mass environmental education campaigns as well as creating recreation conditions for persons withdisabilities. This ensured the stay of more than 215 thousand registered vacationers in the protected areas in 2020, compared to1.0 thousand people in 2004.Based on the analysis of the state of protected areas in Sverdlovsk Oblast, the authors propose ways to develop ecotourismand improve the organization of work in protected areas.
