Ilisu State Reserve, Nature reserve in Qakh District, Azerbaijan
Ilisu State Reserve is a protected nature area situated on the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus mountains. The territory spans different elevation zones and hosts diverse habitats and ecosystems.
The reserve was initially established in 1987 to protect the mountain landscape and its inhabitants. An expansion occurred years later to bring additional territory within the protection system.
The reserve serves as a vital refuge for the mountain wildlife and plant life of the region. Visitors can experience the diversity of the landscape, which ranges from dense forests to alpine meadows.
Access is regulated to preserve the natural environment and minimize disturbance. Visitors should check current access rules before entering the grounds.
The reserve connects with other protected areas in the region and forms a continuous corridor. This network facilitates the spread and movement of wildlife across larger distances.
