Using the thematic (landscape, geobotanic, soil, agroclimatic) maps of factual habitats of plants and animals, the authors have developed a method for mapping the refugia of the Baikal region. The drawn-up map reflects not only the already known refugia, but also territories with their probable presence. In the present work 4 groups and 9 subgroups of refugia are considered, and the question of protection of unique plants and animals is raised.
