Bolshaya Kokshaga, Nature reserve in Mari El Republic, Russia
The Bolshaya Kokshaga reserve contains mixed forests, swamps, and meadows along a 297-kilometer river system in the Mari El Republic.
The Russian government established this protected territory in March 1993 to maintain the ecological balance of the Mari El forests and waterways.
The reserve name originates from the Mari language, reflecting the regional identity of indigenous communities living in the surrounding settlements.
Visitors can participate in guided nature walks from April through October, with advance reservations required through the reserve administration office.
The reserve functions as a natural laboratory where scientists study the interaction between coniferous forests and wetland ecosystems throughout the seasons.
