Malyi istok, Protected natural area near Yekaterinburg, Russia.
Malyi Istok extends across diverse landscapes with dense forests, meadows, and water bodies that support numerous plant and animal species native to the Ural region.
The natural park received its official protected status on February 25, 2004, as part of Russia's initiative to preserve the ecological heritage of Sverdlovsk Oblast.
The name Malyi Istok reflects the Russian language connection to water sources, indicating the presence of natural springs within the conservation area.
Several marked trails within the park allow visitors to observe local wildlife and vegetation while following established routes designed for minimal environmental impact.
The park contains specific microclimates that create conditions for rare plant species to thrive in isolation from similar ecosystems in the Ural Mountains.
