LEGAL REGULATION FOR THE MONITORING OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ NATIVE HABITAT

Abstract

The article discusses the foundation for the establishment and legal regulation of monitoring the state of the native habitat and the ecological situation in areas of traditional residence and traditional economic activity of indigenous peoples, as well as the directions that contribute to the creation of the necessary conditions for the activity of indigenous peoples in such monitoring. To access the state of the indigenous peoples’ habitat, it is possible to use data obtained from the state environmental monitoring, social and hygienic monitoring, monitoring that incorporates state control (supervision), and independent monitoring of the environment’s state carried out by the individuals of the indigenous peoples. The author suggests the improvement of legal regulation in terms of defi-nition and legal consolidation of the concept of monitoring the state of the native habitat and the ecological situation in areas of traditional residence and traditional economic activity of indigenous peoples.
