Abstract
Within the framework of the development of the project “Atlas of Asian Russia”, which provides for comprehensive mapping of the macroregion, it is necessary to solve the complex problem of providing a variety of relevant zoological information on such a vast territory of the country. The article analyzes the accumulated experience of multi-scale zoological mapping, the content of works on regional atlases of Siberia and the Far East, the main methodological approaches and problems of mapping. Based on the accumulated experience of compiling maps, the authors’ team will have to determine their clear connection with the developed theme of new types and plots of atlas maps. Zoological maps in the Atlas will be placed in three sections: “Nature”, “Economy” and “Ecological situation”.
