The peculiarity of natural landscapes, climatic and geomorphological conditions led to a high species diversity of the fauna of the central ecological zone of Lake Baikal. The fauna, as the least stable component of the landscape, changes easily and quickly under the influence of various external factors. Since the second half of the XX century recreation becomes one of the leading anthropogenic factors influencing the wildlife of the coast. Recreational impact on the animal world is manifested in the form of destruction and fragmentation of habitats, mechanical impact, intimidation, direct extermination and production, chemical pollution of biocenoses, increase in the number and area of fires, littering with waste and debris. The article discusses the method of cartographic assessment of the sensitivity and ability to self-repair of the faunal complexes of the Central ecological zone of the Baikal natural territory within the Irkutsk region. According to the developed evaluation criteria, the faunal complexes were divided into three categories. On the basis of what the overview maps are drawn up, the background color of which displays the quantitative characteristic of the scale gradation. The results can be used in the development of load standards for organized and unorganized recreation and recreational territory planning.
