Lazovsky Zapovednik, Nature reserve in Primorsky Krai, Russia

The Lazovsky Zapovednik encompasses 121,000 hectares of coastal areas, mountains, and forests along the Sea of Japan in eastern Russia.

The reserve began as South Ussuri Wildlife Sanctuary in 1928, later becoming an independent protected area in 1940 under director Lev Kaplanov.

The Amur tiger, featured on the Primorsky Krai coat of arms, represents the reserve's dedication to protecting endangered species in the Russian Far East.

Visitors can explore designated trails through the reserve with authorized guides and learn about local wildlife at the Nature Museum.

The reserve contains the largest yew grove in the Far East on Petrov Island, hosting over 300 species of vascular plants.
