Tigrovaya Balka Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Jilikul District, Tajikistan.
The reserve spans 460 square kilometers at the confluence of Vakhsh and Panj Rivers, forming the Amu Darya River in Central Asia.
Established in 1938, Tigrovaya Balka Nature Reserve recorded the last confirmed Caspian tiger tracks in 1953 before their extinction in the region.
The reserve maintains research facilities where scientists document diverse species while local communities participate in ecological preservation programs.
Visitors need advance permits to enter the protected area and must follow strict guidelines regarding wildlife observation and environmental protection.
The reserve supports populations of Bactrian deer, striped hyenas, and golden jackals across its varied terrain of semi-deserts and riparian grasslands.
