The article is devoted to the application of geographic information systems (GIS) in the environmental monitoring of the Bogdinsk-Baskunchak Nature Reserve, a unique territory with pronounced karst processes and high biodiversity. Using the example of analyzing the dynamics of karst sinkholes, mapping research routes and accounting for biological species, it is shown how the integration of GIS technologies increases the accuracy and efficiency of ecomonitoring. The use of mobile applications, satellite imagery, and multilayer maps has made it possible to automate data collection, optimize tourist flow management, and minimize anthropogenic impact. The results demonstrate that GIS platforms not only simplify the visualization of spatial data, but also contribute to the development of conservation strategies for rare species and vulnerable ecosystems. The article highlights the key role of GIS in the adaptive management of protected areas under increasing anthropogenic pressure.
