Леопардовый

The Leopard Reserve extends across 169,500 hectares of mixed forests, providing a critical habitat for the Amur leopard population in the Russian Far East.

The reserve formed in 2008 through the merger of two existing sanctuaries, Barsovy and Borisovskoye Plateau, to create a consolidated protection zone for endangered species.

The reserve represents a commitment to wildlife conservation in Russia, focusing on protecting the Amur leopard alongside other rare species like the Amur tiger.

Visitors need special permits to enter the reserve, and access is restricted during specific seasons to protect wildlife, particularly during breeding periods.

The protected area shares borders with China and includes the Kedrovaya Pad Nature Reserve, forming an international corridor for large predator migration.
