Karadag Nature Reserve
Karadag Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in eastern Crimea, Russia
The Karadag Nature Reserve spans 2,874 hectares, including 809 hectares of Black Sea waters and ancient volcanic landscapes with rocky cliffs.
The reserve gained protected status on August 9, 1979, following decades of scientific research at the Vyazemsky Biological Station established in 1914.
The reserve monitors three species of Black Sea dolphins and conducts research programs through the Institute of Southern Seas Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Visitors can explore the reserve through two ecological trails, including the 7-kilometer Big Karadag path that requires guided tours and takes four hours.
The reserve contains 2,500 plant species, including 52 endemic varieties, and houses 5,300 animal species within its Mediterranean-continental climate transition zone.
