Nora Nature Reserve

Nora Nature Reserve is a protected ecological area in eastern Russia that covers a vast expanse of forest and wetland between the Nora and Selemdzha rivers. The landscape contains diverse habitats supporting numerous animal and plant species adapted to the region's climate and soil conditions.

The reserve was officially established in 1998 by the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources to protect critical ecosystems. This creation reflected a broader national effort to safeguard undisturbed natural areas.

The reserve functions as a research center where scientists study ecological processes, monitoring local biodiversity and conducting field experiments without public interference.

Entry to the reserve requires special permits and visitors must follow strict guidelines to minimize impact on the environment. Planning ahead is important since access conditions and permit requirements can vary by season.

The reserve functions primarily as a research station where scientists conduct ecological fieldwork without disruption from visitors. The wetlands here play a crucial role for migratory birds that pass through during different times of the year.
