Specially protected natural components of Sakhalin. Nature reserves of the Sakhalin region
On February 10, 1984, a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR established the Kuril State nature reserve. It is located in the South Kuril region, in Sakhalin region, on the islands of the Kuril archipelago.
The area of the reserve is 65,365 hectares. It consists of 3 separate sections: northern Kunashir, southern Kunashir, and the Lesser Kuril ridge, located on the islands of Demina and Oskolki.
More than 70% of the entire protected area is covered with forests. There are 227 species of birds in the reserve, of which 107 nest and 29 species of mammals. Many of the animals are listed in the Red Book of Russia.
The Kuril Nature Reserve is rich in vascular plants; there are 107 species here, some of them are listed in the International and Russian Red Books. In Russia, only on the island of Kunashir you can find Maksimovich birch, botrocarium moss, magnolia obovate, Maksimovich linden and Japanese maple.
Natural objects are: the caldera of the Golovnin volcano, the Ptichy waterfall, the Tyatya volcano, the Neskuchensk springs and Cape Stolbchaty.
In this territory and its protected zones, 66 ethnographic and archaeological monuments were found, including sites ancient man, Japanese buildings, Ainu settlements and more.
Water surface and airspace above them, where natural complexes and objects are located that have special environmental, scientific, cultural, aesthetic, recreational and health value, which are withdrawn by decisions of the authorities state power in whole or in part from economic use and for which a special protection regime has been established.
Specially protected natural areas are classified as 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 areas", 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 moose in the St. Petersburg province. However modern system The protected area dates back to the creation of the world's first national park, Yellowstone, in the United States (1872). In Russia, the system of protected areas has been formed for more than 80 years. One of the first was the Barguzinsky Nature Reserve, founded on Lake Baikal in 1916. By the end of 1998, this system included 99 reserves, 34 national parks, about 1,600 state reserves and more than 8,000 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 natural course natural processes and phenomena. Only scientific, security and control activities are allowed in the reserve, and in exceptional cases, the organization of educational and environmental routes. Sometimes even the removal of fallen and dead trees, which violates natural development natural processes.
Of the total number of reserves, the biosphere reserves included in the international system biosphere reserves and carrying out global environmental monitoring. In Russia, about 20% of nature reserves have this international status, including Prioksko-Terrasny, located near Moscow.
In addition to areas that are completely closed to visitors, it is also necessary to create areas accessible to controlled visits. World experience says that the main thing for nature conservation 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 protected areas, as well as areas intended for recreation, health improvement, short-range tourism, and promotion of environmental knowledge. One of the famous national parks in Russia is Losiny Ostrov (Moscow).
Reserve is a natural complex designed to preserve certain types of natural resources while limiting the use of others. In areas occupied by nature reserves, it is permanently or temporarily prohibited individual species economic activity. For example, any economic activity leading to disturbance of the landscape is prohibited, but hunting may be permitted. Temporary hunting reserves are often created to preserve and restore the numbers of certain animal species.
Although nature reserves and monuments play a positive role in maintaining ecological balance, they cannot radically solve the problem. Only systemic natural aggregates can be preserved, and not individual components.
Natural monuments- these are individual natural objects that have scientific, aesthetic, cultural or educational significance. They could be an unusual spring, a waterfall, a ravine with rare plant species, very old trees that were “witnesses” of some historical events, for example, oak trees in the Kolomenskoye estate (Moscow), preserved from the time of Ivan the Terrible.
Depending on the purpose, protected areas may be located in federal property and management, and may be regional or even municipal property.

Modern man looks at the world through a screen. This is some kind of average estimate. Agree, not everyone has the means to travel. And the world is so magnificent! So we study it through a computer, fortunately now it’s easy. However, is it possible in this way to feel the thrill in the soul that necessarily arises from contemplating the stunning corners of the planet? Take, for example, the Kuril Nature Reserve. Anyone who was there will confirm: no films or photographs will reflect the magical essence of this extraordinary place.
Location and climate
The Kuril Nature Reserve occupies a considerable area (65,365 hectares).
It consists of three islands. These are Kunashir, Demina and Oskolki. The first of them belongs to the Great Kuril Ridge and is the largest in area. The islands are a product of volcanic activity. The terrain here is mountainous, there are rivers and lakes. The Kuril Nature Reserve is famous for its mineral springs. Interestingly, they all differ in chemical composition, temperature conditions. The most famous are Tretyakovsky, Alekhine and Golovninsky. Because Kurile Islands formed by volcanic activity, the topography is mountainous. The rivers here are small, no more than twenty kilometers. Most of of which are spawning. The largest is Tyatina (Kunashir). It flows directly along the Dokuchaev volcanic ridge. In this part of the reserve the terrain is mountainous. And to the north it becomes hilly. The largest one in the reserve is also located there. Such an almost clerical description, of course, does not convey the splendor of this place. Let us add that the climate here is very mild. Winter is not scary with frost, and summer is not scary with heat. The only factor that a person will definitely not like is the monsoons. The Kuril Nature Reserve withstands winds and hurricanes, responding only with a slight rise in water in the rivers.
A little history
Already from the dry description given above, it is clear that the Kuril Islands are a rich region. You haven’t read about the flora and fauna yet! How did it survive amid the storms and troubles that befell Russia over the past centuries?
There were caring people. Work on creating a protected area began in 1947. Many prominent scientists spoke about the need to protect this original, magical place from destruction. The reserve project 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 security zone expanded. It was formed in its present form in 1984. And, remarkably, the subsequent devastation in Russia in the nineties did not have any impact negative influence to these territories. The reserve has been preserved!
Nature
Nature reserves, as you know, are different. The purpose of their creation is one - to preserve the pristine nature of this corner of magnificent nature. So that the activities of greedy humanity do not affect the wealth created long before our appearance in this world. The Kuril Islands have something to be proud of and something to protect. The area here is mostly wooded. Mostly coniferous species grow. But how amazing it is to see tropical vines among the cedars and spruces! This is just a miracle. Scientists have calculated that only ten percent of the reserve is deciduous. But they are so uniquely woven into the taiga landscapes that they make this area uniquely beautiful. And in forest clearings, bamboo takes up space from 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. Because of this, its hills and mountains have preserved very rare species plants. The so-called vertical zonality can be seen here. That is, the nature of the vegetation changes as you move into the mountains. If you go from the shore, then broad-leaved and coniferous forests are replaced first by fir trees, then by stone birch forests, then by dwarf cedar. There is something to admire, freezing in admiration.
Fauna
It seems that a region cut off from the mainland cannot be densely populated. However, this is a mistake. We won't 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 Kuril Islands with species living in Japan. Only in last years It turned out that there are also endemic species here. Today there are 37 known of them. They are widely represented in the reserve sea shellfish. They are found off the coast and in lakes. That is, they are presented and 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 leads the world 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 can you find the Far Eastern skink (lizard). This species does not live anywhere else in Russia.
Birds and mammals
The birds of the reserve are 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 give some statistics. In total, 278 species of birds can be found in the reserve, and 125 live permanently. When winter comes to the Southern Hemisphere, the birds fly to the local shores. For example, loons and cormorants, swans and rhinoceros puffins are found here. Only ornithologists will understand this colorful and loud world. Let us add that the protection of the reserve has truly planetary significance. The islands are a significant point on the map of the feathered world. A few should be added amazing facts. Do you know that there are fishing owls? This rare species nests in the reserve. Here you can also find those considered endangered. Large animals include sable, chipmunk, weasel and even mink. These animals breed safely in Kunashir.
Significance of the reserve
Even from a short text it is already clear that this world is unique. People are trying to understand what nature reserves there are, what’s interesting about them, and what to admire. In fact, it is not only natural beauties and rare animals that are important. The wisdom and work of those who care for these incredible places of pristine nature, thereby allowing the planet to survive despite the activities of mankind, should be appreciated.
For a long time, people underestimated the harm that they caused to the world around them through their economic activities. Therefore, new ones are now being introduced waste-free technologies, agroecosystems are being built, environmental laws are being approved, Red Books are being written, and systems of specially protected natural areas are being created.
There are six main categories of protected areas around the world.
- Reserve.
- Natural monument.
- National Park.
- Reserve.
- Protected land and water landscapes.
- Protected areas with managed resources.
State Nature 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.
National Park - this is a vast territory, including both completely protected areas and areas intended for recreation, health improvement, short-range tourism, and promotion of environmental knowledge.
Natural monuments - these are individual natural objects that have scientific, aesthetic, cultural or educational significance. They can be an unusual spring, a waterfall, a ravine with rare plant species, or very old trees.
Reserve is a natural complex designed to preserve certain types of natural resources while limiting the use of others. In areas occupied by nature reserves, certain types of economic activities are permanently or temporarily prohibited
