Taymyr Nature Reserve

The reserve spans 190,000 square kilometers across the Taimyr Peninsula, featuring tundra landscapes, rivers, lakes, and northern sections of Siberian taiga forest.

Established in February 1979, the reserve obtained UNESCO biosphere status in 1995, marking international recognition of its environmental preservation efforts.

Indigenous Evenki and Nganasan communities maintain traditional practices of hunting, fishing, and reindeer herding within designated areas of the reserve.

Access requires special permits, and visitors must arrange transportation through authorized tour operators due to the remote Arctic location.

The reserve protects the largest wild reindeer herd on Earth, with thousands of animals migrating across its territories throughout seasonal cycles.
