We examine the evolution of the nature management systems in the historical context. An analysis is made of the crisis of the existing nature management models, an aggravation of contradictions and an increase in threats and risks at the beginning of the 21^st century. The modern trends in the development of effective nature management are discussed, namely low-waste technologies, technoecopolises, agroecopolises and green clusterization. We generalize and suggest conceptual prospects in the realm of effective nature management: the concept of a New Ecological Policy, and a new “ecopolicy of containment”. We explore the possibility of introducting the culture of nature management contributing to reinforcing the necessary rules and regulations - the binding force of the system of restrictions and prohibitions for humans in nature management, with due regard for the sustainability of natural systems. Emphasis is placed on a crucial need for changes in the mass-scale consumer stereotypes, for an increase of the number of green technologies and production, the furthering of ecological education and medical-ecological tourism; the importance of reorientation of the attitudes of the population from ecological-consumer to social-spiritual values, in accordance with the “Code of the Culture of Nature Management”. We substantiate the need for the integration of the economic determinism of nature management and the ecological-economic imperative of sustainable development on the basis of the noosphere approach.
