The materials of the study are the provisions of international treaties, decisions of the World Heritage Committee, provisions of the Russian environmental legislation and draft regulations. The study applies formal-legal, comparative-legal and system-structural methods. The main results of the study include the development of the theoretical construction of sui generis specially protected area, justification of the necessity to recognize the central ecological zone of the Baikal natural territory as a specially protected natural territory.
