Poronaysky Reserve, Nature reserve in Sakhalin Oblast, Russia
The Poronaysky Reserve extends over 566 square kilometers along the eastern coast of Sakhalin Island, featuring forests, wetlands, and coastal zones.
The Russian government established this protected area on March 30, 1988, to preserve the natural ecosystems of the Sakhalin region.
The reserve's name derives from the Ainu language term 'poro nay', reflecting the indigenous heritage of Sakhalin Island's original inhabitants.
