Orenburg Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Orenburg Oblast, Russia
The protected area spans over 38,191 hectares across five separate sections in different districts of the Orenburg region, containing diverse steppe landscapes.
The establishment of the reserve in 1989 followed scientific expeditions in 1975 that discovered pristine steppe areas in the southeastern Kuvandyk district.
The reserve contains numerous archaeological sites, including burial mounds from the Sarmatian culture dating back to the 7th through 3rd centuries BCE.
The reserve maintains specific visitation hours and requires advance permits, with guided tours available through designated paths to minimize environmental impact.
The reserve implements a reintroduction program for Przewalski horses since 2015, creating a semi-wild population in their natural steppe habitat.
