Lapland Biosphere Reserve, Natural reserve in Murmansk Oblast, Russia

The Lapland Biosphere Reserve encompasses 278,435 hectares of northern taiga forests, mountain tundra, lakes, and rivers in the central part of Murmansk Oblast.

The Leningrad Regional Executive Committee established the reserve on January 17, 1930, to protect wild reindeer populations and preserve the natural environment.

The reserve maintains exhibits about the Sami people, the indigenous inhabitants of the Kola Peninsula, displaying their traditional lifestyle and connections to the land.

Visitors must obtain prior authorization and purchase entrance tickets, with adult admission costing 600 rubles and children's tickets priced at 400 rubles.

The protected area contains ancient coniferous forests, aged between 3,000 and 10,000 years, dominated by Scots pine and Siberian spruce species.
