Subject and purpose of work: The purpose of the study was to compare the behavior of companies located in the areas of nature value and in their proximity with companies located in urbanized areas in the Lublin Region in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Materials and methods: The study was conducted by means of the diagnostic survey method, using direct interviews. Results and conclusions: Companies located in valuable natural or close to natural areas tend to undertake ecological and environmental investments (27.68%), care for the common good (54.46%), and treat employees well (54.46%) as compared with the companies located in urban areas (10.72%, 25.89% and 25.89%, respectively). Sensitivity to nature is primarily the result of the company’s direct contact with nature, the recognition of the importance of protecting it, as well as of good treatment of employees, that is it results mainly from the combination of business and personal relationships with employees. Firms located in urban areas are much more likely to support charitable donations (22.33%), which is a result of higher returns by these companies and more frequent requests for financial assistance. Further research in this regard should concern factors that make the entrepreneurs more willing to implement CSRs in their companies.
The paper presents the implementation of the strategy of development of tourism in the south-east of the Baikal region on the territory of the Baikal Biosphere Reserve and its subordinate federal sanctuaries. As a result of the field research conducted in the summer of 2014 by a group of staff and students of the Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, a project of a tour route for the development of ecotourism and environmental education in the territory of Altacheysky sanctuary has been proposed.

Mangroves in India: a unique Marine Ecosystem

84%
India has a long tradition of mangrove forest management. The Sundarbans mangroves, located in the Bay of Bengal (partly in India and partly in Bangladesh), were the first mangroves in the world to be put under scientific management. The area's first management plan was implemented in 1892. Recognizing the importance of mangroves, the Government of India set up the National Mangrove Committee in the Ministry of Environment and Forests in 1976 to advise the government about mangrove conservation and development. In its first meeting, the panel, which consists of scientists, research scholars and experts on the mangrove ecosystem, emphasized the need to conduct a survey of the extent of existing mangrove areas within the country.
The present study shows the results of monitoring the atmospheric pollen in the atmosphere of an area of natural vegetation, the Hornachuelos Natural Park, Cordoba, southern Spain, during a six years (1998-2003). Special attention was paid in the seasonal and intra-diurnal characteristics of airborne allergenic pollen. During this period, 31 pollen types were described, some of them rare in aerobiological analysis. High concentrations of allergenic pollen from entomophilous species and from areas at a long distance were found. Signifi cant differences between pollen spectrum and pollen concentration of the natural study area and the surrounding cities were detected. Intra-diurnal pattern from trees surrounding the trap presented a clear peak at midday/afternoon. Pollen from taxa comprising many species and from species at far locations showed a smoother intra-diurnal pattern. The correlation with meteorological parameters was positive with maximum and mean temperatures, and negative with humidity and rainfall.
The concentration of total iron and iron (II ) extracted by hot twice distilled water was analyzed in following medicinal plants collected from natural areas: St Johns wort (Hypericum perforatum L.), yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.), nettle (Urtica dioica L.) and birch (Betula pendula Roth.). Total iron was determined by FAAS method after microwave mineralization of samples, whereas Fe (II ) was extracted by twice distilled water in temperature of 85ºC and determined spectrophotometrically with use of o-phenantroline. The obtained results indicate that total iron content is from several dozen to more than 200 μg/g of dry plant weight and is correlated with plant species. In case of iron (II ) it was determined in amounts ten times less than total concentration of the element. It was noticed that level of that form of iron is positively related to total amount of iron in analyzed medicinal plants. Extremely high concentration of both forms of iron was characteristic for one sample of nettle collected in the Vistula Sand Bar. Based on the conducted research it is possible to state that iron on +2 oxidation state extracted by water can become a source of bioavailable form of this element for human.
