Bikin National Park

Bikin National Park is a large protected forest area on the western slope of the Sikhote-Alin mountains. It contains mixed forests with diverse plant and animal species across its territory.

The park was established in 2015 and added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018 as part of the Central Sikhote-Alin expansion. This recognition marked its global importance for forest conservation.

The Udeghe and Nanai peoples have lived here for generations, maintaining their connection to the land through fishing, hunting, and gathering. Their presence shapes how the forest functions as both home and provider.

The area is remote with limited infrastructure, so visitors should prepare for challenging conditions and coordinate with park staff beforehand. Local guides can help navigate safely and plan meaningful visits.

The forest protects a major share of the world's remaining wild Amur tigers. These rare big cats depend on this remote region for their survival.
