Nuratin State Nature Reserve, Protected nature reserve in Forish District, Uzbekistan
The reserve spans 17,800 hectares across the Nurattau ridge, featuring mountain ranges, valleys, and diverse ecological zones that support numerous species.
The establishment of Nuratin State Nature Reserve in 1975 marked a turning point in Uzbekistan's efforts to protect the endangered Kyzylkum sheep population.
Research teams from multiple countries collaborate with local communities to document and study the native wildlife and develop conservation strategies.
Visitors need to obtain permits from the reserve administration office in advance and can access guided tours through designated entry points.
The reserve contains Lake Fazilman and an ancient tree called Biota Vostochnaya, which local records connect to Alexander the Great's expedition.
