Putorana Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Central Siberia, Russia

The Putorana Nature Reserve spans 2.5 million hectares of mountains, valleys, lakes, and rivers across the Putorana Plateau in Central Siberia.

The Russian government established this protected zone in December 1988 to preserve the native flora and fauna of the Putorana Plateau region.

The Evenki people maintain their traditional reindeer herding practices within the reserve, continuing centuries-old connections with the subarctic landscape.

Visitors require special permits and must plan expeditions carefully due to extreme weather conditions, with temperatures dropping to minus 68 degrees Celsius.

The reserve contains the migration path of the world's largest reindeer population and serves as a critical habitat for the Putorana snow sheep.

Inception: December 15, 1988
