APPLICATION OF GIS TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PROTECTION OF ANIMAL WORLD OF THE REPUBLIC OF SAKH YAKUTIA

University», Yakutsk, e-mail: verviL@List.ru This article discusses the need to use GIS technologies for the protection of wild animals of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) by monitoring the vegetation as their food supply. The fauna of Yakutia is rich and diverse. The fauna of terrestrial vertebrates is represented by 4 species of amphibians, 2 – reptiles, 280 – birds and 63 species of mammals. Of the large ungulates in the republic live elk, red deer, reindeer, mountain (snow) ram – Chubuk, roe deer and musk deer are widespread. Of the predators – brown, on the Arctic coast – polar bears, wolves, lynx, wolverine, red fox, arctic fox, and columns. Under the influence of anthropogenic activity and under the influence of climatic disasters, global changes in the habitat of wild animals in the region occur, which determines the relevance of the research topic. The identification of changes in the habitat of wild animals at the present stage is possible only through the organization of continuous monitoring of the state and changes in natural territorial complexes and, first of all, landscapes within which populations of wild plants and animals exist, multiply and migrate. Monitoring the state of vegetation according to aerospace images makes it possible to determine its seasonal state and change. Recently, changes in the areas of the natural habitat of wild animals have been identified, therefore, a thorough analysis of the causes that provoke this phenomenon is required. Such an analysis formed the basis for organizing measures to stop their negative impact. A study on this topic showed that modern GIS technology allows you to build 3D terrain models with the ability to interactively manage information about the
