Abstract
Currently, the main purpose of environmentalization of nature management is to create conditions for the harmonious and balanced development of nature, society, and economy. One should pay particular attention to the importance of life supporting functions of geosystems for society before directly using natural resources in order to maintain the balance of the nee ds of the population with environmental well-being. Under these conditions, ecological optimization of nature management based on the ecological potential of geosystems is the main paradigm of environmental policy, allowing one to balance the ecological and economic interests of society, create scientific prerequisites for developing legal environmental standards, economic calculations, and scientific and informational/analytical support for nature protection and environmental safety.
