Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve

The Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve spans 4,016 square kilometers across the eastern slopes of Central Sikhote-Alin mountain range, reaching the Sea of Japan.

The Russian government established this protected area in 1935 to safeguard the local sable population, which faced severe threats from excessive hunting.

The reserve functions as an environmental research center where scientists study and monitor the interactions between native species and their natural habitats.

Visitors can access designated hiking trails and observation points throughout the reserve, while maintaining strict regulations to protect the local wildlife.

Mount Glukhomanka rises 1,598 meters within the reserve, marking the highest point of this protected territory that shelters Siberian tigers and Korean pine trees.
