Settlement and Acclimatization of Sika Deer in the Russian Federation

This article discusses the issues of conservation, distribution, and acclimatization of sika deer on the territory of the Russian Federation, the Central Federal District and of the National Park State Complex Zavidovo. A detailed analysis of the condition of the first range of sika deer in the Primorsky krai is given, as well as the history of settlement and dynamics of its population in the Russian Federation. For the regions of the Central Federal District, the results of the cadastral assessment of sika deer resources were calculated, including the average long-term number, the average long-term population density (animals) per 1000 hectares of characteristic lands, and the average long-term cost of resources (million rubles). As an effective model for the acclimatization of sika deer, the experience of its economic use was carried out in the Zavidovo National Park State Complex (Tver region).
