A regional system of protection and rational management of bird communities of the northern taiga of West Siberia is developed which has the priority task of conservation of water fowl, circumaquatic birds and birds of prey, especially those of rare and disappearing species, maintenance and recovery of the numbers of commercial hunting birds, conservation of biological diversity of ornithocomplexes in especially protected natural territories. Taking into account the biosphere damage caused to the bird population by the influence of the oil and gas complex, it is necessary to double the area of the especially protected territory with heightening of its protection grade. The bird cadastre and monitoring system of Hypoarctic birds must serve as the scientific and practical basis for implementation of protection and rational management of bird communities.
