Protected area of Russia Zapovednik

Add to collection Suggest a change

Polistovsky Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Pskov Oblast, Russia

The reserve protects 36,026 hectares of wetlands, forests, and bogs, forming part of the extensive Polist-Lovat Swamp System in northwestern Russia.

Established in 1994, this protected area evolved from a zakaznik status to become a zapovednik, following Russia's tradition of strict nature preservation dating from the 1800s.

Scientists conduct regular research programs within the reserve to study wetland ecosystems and monitor the effects of environmental changes on local wildlife populations.

Access to the reserve requires special permits, and visitors can participate in guided educational programs focusing on bog ecosystems and wetland conservation.

The reserve houses numerous raised bog formations and serves as a critical habitat for the European mink, a species facing severe population decline.

Location: Pskov Oblast
