Baikal Nature Reserve, Nature reserve near Lake Baikal, Russia
The reserve extends across 165,700 hectares of land, encompassing dark pine taiga forests, subalpine meadows, and alpine tundras along Lake Baikal's southeast shore.
The Ministry of Natural Resources established this protected area in 1969 to preserve the natural features of Lake Baikal and the central Khamar-Daban Range.
The reserve maintains partnerships with regional communities to implement conservation practices while supporting local populations who depend on natural resources.
Three designated tourist routes provide access to specific sections of the reserve, with entry permits required through the reserve administration office.
The reserve houses 812 plant species, 49 mammal species including Siberian bears and Baikal lynx, and 272 bird species within its boundaries.
