Zhulebinskiy Zakaznik

The Zhulebinskiy Zakaznik is a protected natural area in Moscow's Vykhino-Zhulebino District with forests, wetlands, and meadows that support local wildlife. The space preserves natural habitats that might otherwise disappear as the city expands.

This protected area was formally established in August 2016 as Moscow worked to secure natural spaces from further development. The designation allows natural processes to continue in an otherwise heavily urbanized region.

The zakaznik demonstrates Russia's traditional approach to nature conservation, following specific guidelines for habitat management and species protection.

Access to this protected area is governed by conservation rules that keep the place quiet and protect wildlife habitats. Visitors should stick to marked paths and avoid activities that might disturb the natural environment.

This zakaznik sits entirely within Moscow's city limits, demonstrating how natural habitats can survive within a major metropolis. Researchers use the space to study how wildlife and plants adapt to proximity with urban surroundings.
