Kuril Reserve
The Kuril Reserve is located on the island of Kunashir and the small islands of the Lesser Kuril Ridge; V Sakhalin region. Founded in 1984, area 65.4 thousand hectares. The relief of the reserve is diverse, the islands are the tops of an underwater ridge. Active volcanic activity is manifested in the territory: thermal springs, outlets of hot gases. Lots of dormant volcanoes. On the island of Kunashir there is Tyatya volcano (1819 m), the cone of which is remarkable for its remarkable regularity of shape. Monuments of the Ainu and Okhotsk cultures of the Neolithic era have been preserved in the reserve. The climate is monsoonal, relatively mild.

Most of the Kuril Reserve is covered deciduous forests from Sakhalin velvet, oak, ash, wild magnolia, elm. There are also spruce-fir, coniferous-broad-leaved forests; in the dense undergrowth, bizarre interweaving of ferns and lianas (actinidia, lemongrass, Cogne grapes) is characteristic. On the edges of the forest, thickets of Kuril bamboo, tall grasses up to 4 m tall (thickets of hogweed) are common. About 800 species of higher vascular plants are registered in the reserve. Animal world rich - 22 species of mammals, 223 species of birds (122 species are nesting). On the territory of the reserve there are rookeries of sea lions, seals (seed seals, antura). Of the rare animals, there is a sea otter (Kamchatka beaver). From rare birds- Steller's sea eagle and white-tailed eagle, fish eagle (island population), Japanese crane. Salmon spawn in the rivers of the Kuril Reserve.

Poronaysky Reserve
The Poronaysky Nature Reserve is located in the eastern part of Sakhalin Island, near Terpeniya Bay and on the Terpeniya Peninsula, in the Poronaysky District of the Sakhalin Region of Russia. The reserve was founded in 1988, covers an area of ​​more than 56.7 thousand hectares, consists of two sections - Nevsky and Vladimirsky. The reserve is dominated by mountain taiga forests of Ayan spruce and Sakhalin fir, larch forests. Representatives of the Okhotsk, Manchurian, North Japanese and North American fauna (over 200 species) and flora (over 400 species) gathered here. Along the shores of the bay and on the coast of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, there are passageways for waterfowl.

The fauna of the Poronaysky Reserve is represented by 34 species of mammals, 192 species of birds (92 species of nesting birds), 3 species of amphibians, 2 species of reptiles. The reserve is inhabited by: reindeer, sable, otter, Brown bear. Colonial sea birds nest on coastal rocks: slender-billed murre, black-tailed gull, spectacled guillemot, great and little auklets, old man, white belly. On Cape Patience there is a large bird market. Sakhalin musk deer, Aleutian tern, mandarin duck, white-tailed eagle, Steller's sea eagle, osprey, wild grouse, peregrine falcon living in the reserve are listed in the Red Book of Russia.

Kraternaya (bay)
Bay in the southern part of the island. Kraternaya Bay - a small bay on south coast Yankich Islands (Ushishir Islands). The entrance to the bay is located between Cape Kraterny and Kolpak rock. Open to the south, protrudes into the island for 1 km. The width of the entrance to the bay is about 300 m. The depth is up to 56 m. The area of ​​the bay is about 0.7 sq. m. km. On the shore of the bay is the volcano Ushishir (388 m), on the slopes of which taiga vegetation grows, descending directly to the water of the bay without forming a beach. The entrance to the bay, unlike the bay itself, is shallow. In the center of the bay there are two small islands (37 and 72 m high). The coast of the bay, like the entire island of Yankich, is not inhabited. The height of the tide in the bay is 1.8 m. The flora and fauna of the bay is isolated from surrounding nature. At the bottom of the bay are found sea ​​urchins. 6 new species of living creatures were discovered in the bay. In 1988 Kraternaya Bay became a biological reserve.

Moneron Island
Moneron is an island in the Tatar Strait, 43 kilometers off the southwestern coast of Sakhalin. The area of ​​the island is about 30 sq. km. The length from south to north is 7.15 km, width 4 km. The length of the coastline is about 24 km. The eastern and western shores are rocky and steep (up to 200 m). An island of volcanic origin, the highest point is Mount Staritsky (439.3 m). Around the island there are small rocky islets - Pyramidal, Red, Eastern, etc. The climate is monsoonal, big influence The warm Tsushima Current influences the climate. The largest watercourses are the Usova River (2.5 km long) and the Moneron River (1.5 km long). A number of waterfalls. Forest cover 20% (mainly birch and alder).

There are nesting colonies sea ​​birds living mainly not on the island itself, but on the islets and rocks surrounding it, which is associated with the penetration of the island predatory mammals(fox, sable). The largest number have black-tailed gull and puffin rhinoceros. Also inhabited by northern storm-petrel, Ussuri cormorant, Bering cormorant, Pacific sea ​​gull and others. In some parts of the coast, rookeries of sea lions and seals are arranged. The influence of the warm Tsushima current causes the existence in the waters around the island of subtropical species of mollusks (for example, galiotis), rare-spined sea urchins, and multi-beam starfish.

Reserve Nogliksky
The state natural biological reserve of regional significance “Nogliksky”, located in the Nogliksky district, was established in 1998. The area of ​​​​the reserve is 65,800 hectares. A reserve was established in order to preserve natural ecosystems in the area inhabited by the indigenous peoples of the North, protect the wild grouse population listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation, and restore the number of wild reindeer and other economically, scientifically and culturally valuable species of animals and plants. It is under the jurisdiction of the Sakhalin and Hunting Administration. The main features of nature: larch forests with lichen cover. Geographical position: upper and middle reaches of the Nysh, Karpyn, Dagi river basins.

Modern man looks at the world through a screen. It's kind of an average estimate. Agree, not everyone has the means to travel. And the world is so amazing! So we are studying it through a computer, since now it's easy. However, is it possible in this way to feel the thrill in the soul, which necessarily arises from the contemplation of the stunning corners of the planet? Take, for example, the Kuril Reserve. Whoever was there will confirm: no films or photographs will reflect the magical essence of this extraordinary place.

Location and climate

The Kuril Reserve occupies a considerable area (65,365 ha).

It consists of three islands. These are Kunashir, Demina and Shards. The first of them belongs to the Great Kuril Ridge and is the largest in area. The islands are the product of volcanic activity. The terrain here is mountainous, there are rivers and lakes. The Kuril Reserve is famous for its mineral springs. Interestingly, they all differ in chemical composition, temperature regime. The most famous are the Tretyakov, Alekhinsky and Golovninsky. Since the Kuril Islands are formed by volcanic activity, the relief is mountainous. The rivers here are small, no more than twenty kilometers. Most of them are spawning. The largest is Tyatina (Kunashir). It flows directly along the Dokuchaev volcanic ridge. This part of the reserve is mountainous. And to the north it becomes hilly. The largest in the reserve is also located there. Such an almost clerical description, of course, does not convey the magnificence of this place. We add that the climate here is very mild. Winter does not scare with frost, and summer - with heat. The only factor that is sure not to please a person is the monsoons. Winds and hurricanes the Kuril Reserve endures steadfastly, responding only with a slight rise in water in the rivers.

A bit of history

Already from the dry description given above, it is clear that the Kuril Islands are the richest region. You haven't read about the flora and fauna yet! How did he survive among the storms and troubles that have befallen Russia in recent centuries?

There were people who didn't care. Work on the creation of a protected area began in 1947. Many prominent scientists spoke about the need to protect this original, magical place from destruction. The project of the reserve was created in 1975. Moreover, this event took place after the signing of an agreement with Japan on the protection of nesting sites and habitats of migratory birds. Further, the territory of the buffer zone expanded. In its present form, it was formed in 1984. And, remarkably, the subsequent devastation in Russia in the nineties did not negative impact to these territories. The reserve has been saved!

Nature

Reserves, as you know, are different. The purpose of their creation is the same - to preserve the originality of a corner of magnificent nature. So that the activities of greedy humanity are not reflected in the wealth created long before our appearance in this world. The Kuril Islands have something to be proud of and something to protect. Mostly the area is wooded. For the most part, conifers grow. But how surprising among the cedars and firs to see quite a tropical creeper! This is just a miracle. Scientists have calculated that hardwood only ten percent in the reserve. But they are so peculiarly woven into the taiga landscapes that they make this area uniquely beautiful. And in the forest clearings, the bamboo plant takes up space from the trees, forming impenetrable thickets. The grasses in the lowlands reach a height of four to five meters. Where else have you seen this? Kunashir is not associated with it. Because of this, very rare plant species have been preserved on its hills and mountains. Here the so-called vertical zonality can be traced. That is, the nature of the vegetation changes as you move up the mountains. If you go from the coast, then broad-leaved and coniferous forests are replaced at first by fir, then by stone birch forests, then by dwarf pine. There is something to admire, dying in admiration.

Fauna

It seems that the region cut off from the mainland cannot be densely populated. However, this is a mistake. Let's not list the numbers. It should only be noted that the animal has not yet been fully studied! Science has long been confident in the similarity, for example, of insects in the Kuriles with species that live in Japan. Only in last years it turned out that there are also their own endemics. Today there are 37 of them. They are widely represented in the reserve. sea ​​shellfish. They are found along the coast and in lakes. That is, presented freshwater species. Pearl mollusks are listed in the Red Book.

Kunashir is also proud of its salmon. The largest pink salmon in the entire Far East spawns here, and the Kuril chum salmon is the world leader in size. Amphibian lovers also have something to see. Three species of frogs live in Kunashir. There are also unusual reptiles here. For example, only in the reserve you can meet the Far Eastern skink (lizard). This species does not live anywhere else in Russia.

Birds and mammals

Birds of the reserve - a special conversation. The fact is that the Kuril Islands are important on a planetary scale. They are a resting place. Hundreds of thousands of feathered travelers find shelter and food here. Without this corner, the planet would lose many rare species. Let's take a look at some statistics. In total, 278 species of birds can be found in the reserve, and 125 species live permanently. When winter comes to the Southern Hemisphere, birds fly to the local shores. For example, loons and cormorants, swans and puffin rhinos are found here. Only ornithologists will understand this multi-colored and loud world. We add that the protection of the reserve is truly planetary significance. The islands are a significant point on the map of the feathered world. Should add a few amazing facts. Do you know that there are fisher owls? This rare species nests in the reserve. Even here you can also meet those considered to be endangered. Among large animals, sable, chipmunk, weasel and even mink should be indicated. These animals breed safely in Kunashir.

The significance of the reserve

Even from a short text it is already clear that this world is unique. People are trying to understand what kind of reserves there are, what is interesting in them, what to admire. In fact, not only natural beauties and rare animals are important. The wisdom and work of those who take care of these incredible corners of pristine nature, thereby allowing the planet to survive, despite the activities of mankind, should be appreciated.

  • The Sakhalin Region is a place of extraordinary beauty and natural diversity. This is the only region of Russia located on the islands. It includes the islands of Sakhalin, Moneron, Tyuleniy and the ridges Kuril Islands. The nature of the Sakhalin region differs significantly from the typical Russian nature familiar to us. Everything here seems to be bigger and greener, as if time had not touched this corner of the earth. The species diversity of plants and animals is also surprising, some of which are not found anywhere else on the planet. Therefore, it is quite natural that in order to preserve the environment in the Sakhalin Region, a number of national parks and nature reserves.

    Currently, there are two nature reserves, twelve nature reserves and several dozen natural monuments on the territory of the Sakhalin Region. Unlike wildlife sanctuaries, in which only some natural objects or certain species of animals, reserves are designed to preserve the integrity of the original natural area. Therefore, any activity is prohibited in the reserves except for observation.

    The natural reserve "Kurilsky" has no analogues in the world. It was created for the purpose of observing natural course natural processes typical of the Kuril Islands. Most of the territory of the reserve is occupied by forests inhabited by the rarest Red Book animals. The Kuril Reserve is rich in unique natural monuments: volcanoes, waterfalls, springs. And besides, there are parking places ancient man, ancient Japanese buildings and about sixty archaeological and ethnographic monuments.

    State nature reserve"Small Kuriles" - a structural element of the "Kurilsky" nature reserve - occupies the island part of the Lesser Kuril Ridge and part of the Pacific Ocean. Until now, Russia and Japan are arguing among themselves on the issue of the true belonging of this territory to one state or another. Meanwhile, the natural uniqueness of the "Small Kuriles" is really stunning. No wonder this land, replete with bizarre rocky gorges, indented by hundreds of rivers and streams, was called the territory of God.

    The nature of the Sakhalin region differs significantly from the typical Russian nature familiar to us. Everything here seems to be bigger and greener, as if time had not touched this corner of the earth. The species diversity of plants and animals is also surprising, some of which are not found anywhere else on the planet.

    The Poronaisky Reserve covers southern part East Sakhalin Mountains and a section of the Tym-Poronai lowland. Here is the largest bird market on Sakhalin Island. The birds here are not afraid of people, as if they know that nothing threatens them in the reserve. Yes, and animals are not shy to take food from their hands. By the way, a few kilometers from the reserve, near the village of Vakhrusheva, there is the Nitui waterfall, amazing in its beauty. Experienced highly recommend to see it.

    Of particular value is Moneron Island, where Russia's first marine natural Park with the uncomplicated name "Moneron Island". The nature of the reserve is unique. Most of its territory is covered with so-called vine meadows, where grasses of great height are intertwined with a climbing vine of wild grapes. The height of vegetation in such areas sometimes reaches 2.5 m. In addition to rare birds and mammals, subtropical mollusks, sea urchins and starfish live on the island.

water surface and airspace above them, where natural complexes and objects are located that have special environmental, scientific, cultural, aesthetic, recreational and health significance, which are withdrawn by decisions of state authorities in whole or in part from economic use and for which a regime of special protection has been established.

Specially protected natural territories are objects of national heritage.

In Russia, the most important legislative act regulating relations in the field of organization, protection and use of protected areas is the Federal Law "On Specially Protected Natural Territories", adopted by the State Duma on February 15, 1995.

If you look into the history of the protection of some natural objects, then Peter I issued a decree banning the shooting of elk in the St. Petersburg province. However modern system The protected area originates from the creation in the USA of the world's first national park "Yellowstone" (1872). In Russia, the system of protected areas has been formed for more than 80 years. One of the first was the Barguzinsky Reserve, founded on Baikal in 1916. By the end of 1998, this system included 99 reserves, 34 national parks, about 1600 state reserves and more than 8000 natural monuments.

State nature reserve (full reserve) is the most stringent form of territorial nature protection. It represents, firstly, a territory completely withdrawn from economic use, and secondly, research institutions aimed at preserving and studying the natural course of natural processes and phenomena. Only scientific, security and control activities are allowed in the reserve, and in exceptional cases - the organization of educational and ecological routes. Sometimes even the cleaning of fallen and dead trees is prohibited, which violates natural development natural processes.


Of the total number of reserves, biosphere reserves, included in international system biosphere reserves and carrying out global environmental monitoring. In Russia, about 20% of reserves have such an international status, including Prioksko-Terrasny, located not far from Moscow.

In addition to territories that are completely closed to the public, it is also necessary to create territories available for controlled visits. World experience says that the main thing for nature protection now is the education of environmentally literate people, especially the younger generation.

national park- this is a vast territory (from several thousand to several million hectares), including both completely protected areas, and zones intended for recreation, recreation, nearby tourism, promotion of environmental knowledge. One of the famous national parks in Russia is Losiny Ostrov (Moscow).

Reserve- This natural complex designed to preserve some types of natural resources with limited use of others. In areas occupied by wildlife sanctuaries, permanently or temporarily prohibited certain types economic activity. For example, any economic activity leading to disturbance of the landscape is prohibited, but hunting may be allowed. Temporary hunting reserves are often created to preserve and restore the number of any species of animals.

Reserves and natural monuments, although they play a positive role in maintaining the ecological balance, they cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Only systemic natural aggregates can be saved, not individual components.

Monuments of nature- these are separate natural objects that have scientific, aesthetic, cultural or educational value. They can be an unusual spring, waterfall, ravine with rare species plants, very old trees that were "witnesses" of any historical events, for example, oaks in the Kolomenskoye estate (Moscow), preserved from the time of Ivan the Terrible.

Depending on the purpose, protected areas may be federally owned and managed, or they may be regional or even municipal property.
