The article considers the processes of development of agriculture in the Tunkinsky National Park as its territory coincides with the Tunkinsky district of the Republic of Buryatia. Trends in the formation of the ecological and economic characteristics of the territory and ecosystem components were analyzed. Component-by-component and cumulative values of the cost of direct and indirect use of ecosystem services in the study area were calculated. Forestry, nature conservation, recreational and agricultural nature management are the main types of the contemporary structure of nature management of the national park. According to our estimations, the average cost of ecosystem services in the park is $35 per 1 ha per year.
