Reserva zoológica de Taman–Zaporojskaya

The Taman-Zaporojskaya reserve spans 30,000 hectares, including marine territories that make up 79.79% of the total area and dry steppe upland plains covering 20.21%.

Established on October 13, 1967, the reserve gained federal protection status through a Russian Federation Government decree issued on April 12, 1996.

The reserve functions as a research center where scientists conduct studies on various aquatic and terrestrial species, contributing to regional ecological knowledge.

The protected area extends from Ilyich village eastward, 500 meters from the water surface of Taman and Dinsk bays, through multiple settlements including Batareyka and Zaporozhskaya.

During migration periods, the reserve becomes a temporary home for up to one million birds, including coots, mallards, pintails, and swans.
