Yamskaya step, Nature reserve in Belgorod Oblast, Russia.
The Yamskaya step reserve encompasses 566 hectares of protected land with native steppe vegetation and diverse wildlife species within its boundaries.
The Russian government established Yamskaya step as a protected nature reserve in 1935 to preserve the ecological balance of the region.
Scientists and researchers conduct studies in the reserve to document the interactions between plant species and natural habitats of the Russian steppes.
Access to Yamskaya step requires advance permission through official channels, as the area maintains strict protection status under IUCN category Ia.
The reserve contains untouched grassland ecosystems that represent the natural state of Russian steppes before agricultural development.
